Pros

-NONE. Crazy but true.

Cons

Things change by the second, mainly because the 25 year old 'Head of Sales" does not have a clue about business or people. Your threatened on a daily basis regarding your leads that come in from the company website, have a bad day or week, they get turned off. If your at 100% of your goal at the end of the month you make 0...yes Zero. The plan is designed that you don't start making money until you exceed 100%, getting to 100% is almost impossible except for reps that have been there forever. Furthermore, the product is terrible. Breadcrumb Pos (PRO) is an app, its not a POS system. It offers restaurants no features and lacks ALL reliability and stability that you would want in a POS system. Its a cloud based system that runs on the internet, if the internet goes down the restaurant/bar is dead. Good system. The system also experiences outages at least 2 times per month which causes major losses for merchants. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Breadcrumb.

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Cons

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
