Supportive, thoughtful leadership and solutions that tangibly benefit communities - Sales Director Flock Employee Review

Outside of working in the nonprofit space, Flock is the most mission oriented job I have ever had. Every person I have worked with here has an intense passion for public safety and helping survivors of crime alongside an intense passion for ensuring community values are maintained alongside that. Creativity in problem solving is encouraged, I have yet to see a supervisor who is threatened by one of their team members coming up with innovative ways to build our their program or improve the organization. I have found Flock to be a great place to be supported in my professional development and not be boxed into mindless corporate bureaucracy that kills passion and creativity.

Those that need rigid structure in order to succeed will not succeed at Flock. There are absolutely metrics and goals that need to be achieved but you will not be hand-held. Those who succeed are the ones who move both decisively and strategically accepting a mistake may be made. Those who will not succeed are those who move slowly but but require perfection. Given the high-profile nature of the work, grit and resilience are definitely required.

Good mission statement, poor execution

All you need to know about the sales culture at Flock is the best rep who hit 300% in Texas, who presented at the all company flock forward event, couldn't even last a full 6 months in a NY territory and bounced! You could be an all star rep, and if you are not lucky enough to be handed a territory in TX, CA, GA or FL, you have 0% chance of hitting quota. Total company, maybe 20% at best, is hitting quota this year. Sales Middle Management is completely out of touch, no direction, dont do this only to be told to do this 2 months later. Not one has ever sold the product, zero help on deals. They praise and highlight TX and CA deals as if the success was indivudal contributor driven. Add in some good micro management, boilerroom environment, no room for growth or advancement, and there you have it. Marketing is helpless in the onslaught of constant bad publicity or generating actual leads. More major cities are being pressured to axe their flock cameras because marketing cant get the truth out to the public! No 401k match!
