Pros

Great health coverage Company match for 401K but you’ll never see it anyway

Cons

Salaries start at $43,000 annually, which already speaks volumes. You’re given just 10 total days of PTO per year, but can only use 5 per half. The rest? Use it or lose it. The AE role isn’t what it sounds like. You’re expected to book your own appointments, sell them yourself, and then manage the client relationship afterward. Don’t expect much support from the digital marketing specialists, many times they scare away prospects with inflated budgets that don’t match the reality of small business needs. The quota? Two new clients per month at an average price point that’s completely unrealistic in today’s market, especially when competitors are offering websites for $100. Expect to push $800/month packages for services that often don’t deliver real value to local businesses just to get a minimum sale. Worse yet, my reputation in the community suffered. I’ve received threats, angry calls, and bad reviews simply because I was associated with what I was required to sell. That’s not something I take lightly.

Pros

reat place to work! They truly care about their employees and create an environment where people feel supported and valued. The managers are amazing—they encourage you, challenge you, and push you every day to grow and succeed. It’s a team that genuinely wants to see you win.

Cons

I would recommend doing a little more research and qualification before passing leads over to the reps. Some leads are labeled as ‘hot,’ but after speaking with them, they often don’t have the urgency, need, or buying intent expected. A stronger qualification process would help the sales team focus their time on opportunities that are truly ready to move forward.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
