Pros

None, as far I can tell.

Cons

Terrible pay, brutal workloads, and insane micromanagement. There wasn’t a day where I wasn’t stressed, exhausted, or frustrated. I couldn’t see myself working here long term and building a career so I decided to leave.

Executive Leadership, Company Culture, Excellent Products, Good People, Communication is steller

Cons

It's a smaller outfit but growing. As long as you are willing to put in the work you have an opportunity to go far.

Pros

I'm still new here, one month in. But I've had an outstanding experience so far. I sell a forward thinking product that solves real problems for organizations looking to communicate more effectively with their workforce. The leadership from the CEO on down seems genuinely interested in my success, the success of the overall team, and the customers using or considering using Firstup products.

Cons

I was initially hesitant to join this company because the Glassdoor reviews here were horrendous. Before I accepted the offer, I had a heart to heart with the hiring manager, CRO, and an account executive. And I'm so glad I did. They didn't make excuses about the low ratings. They explained how a year ago this company had some toxic leadership and people left. Since then, new leadership has taken over, and even though I didn't experience the "toxic days", I can tell things here are quite different. Just goes to show how critical leadership is to a company's culture and overall success. I don't regret joining Firstup at all.
