Pros

Im really thankful to work here, it was a really challenging interview process and the people that were selected to work at Funraise, the leadership team saw a ton of potential in. I had no real background in SaaS and onboarding was extremely smooth. Of course, it was a lot of information to take in, but the newer Management team took on onboarding 4 classes of new AEs back to back. Since then, my Manager at Funraise has been 10/10. I'm thankful to work here, benefits are AMAZING, insurance paid by employer for my whole family, unlimited PTO, great salary and additional perks and incentives for small things (Amazon gift cards for winning competitions, cash prizes, lunch gift cards, etc.) The job is fairly simple, call/book meetings/ demo. If you cannot hit your metrics of calls (which is in your control) , of course you will be talked to by your managers. Its your responsibility and job to reach out to non-profits, so if you aren't doing so, you will be micromanaged.

Cons

Some quarters are tough, but I need to have a full year of being an AE here to really understand each quarter and what the seasons are like for non-profits before I can list some cons.

Pros

Great base salary for AEs, good benefits and insurance, the other AEs you work with are awesome people, the Marketing team is second to none

Cons

Bloated sales team for the amount of inbound lead generation, nonprofit tech as a whole is in a steady decline so outbound opps are difficult, 2nd round of layoffs in less than a year (laid off 2 AEs and HR team members in Jan 2023, laid off 4 more AEs in Sept 2023), you couldn't step away from your desk for fear of getting a Slack message and not responding within minutes (people were formally reprimanded for not responding in a "timely manner" and managers relied on senior leadership to reprimand) Product is difficult to sell in the space currently- there is an oversaturated market, product is fairly expensive for it needing to rely heavily on a crm to properly function for any fundraising team, lead distribution was said to be round robin but some reps were given higher profile leads regardless
