Pros

I would say wearing comfy clothes everyday but that is not even worth it at this place.

Cons

Everything: Horrible and I mean horrible management. I have 12 yrs of experience so I know good vs. bad management. Sales managers in role that they should not be in..only have them because of the "popularity" contest that happens daily. Your manager will be 5 years younger then you with less experience but act as if they are God. The pay is just stupid....I was there for 3 years and probably had 6 different commission structures. The metric are meaningless and don't get you more money or contracts closed. This place will literally suck the soul out of you. You are better off working two part time jobs and being in a positive environment. Every single person hates it and spends their day job hunting on the clock while they make pointless phone calls.

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.
