Pros

the amazing 12th floor view of Clearwater beach fantastic training program - structured, progressive, and in depth positive and supportive vibe on all levels cash bonuses $$$ , due to our extremely generous CEO Stu Sjouwerman some more specifics- Drew (hiring and recruiting) was a pleasure to deal with and made me comfortable during the interviewing: a process that is inherently uncertain. Matt is an amazing trainer! and his enthusiasm is truly contagious. I am quite excited to be valued here and to contribute in any way I can. Being treated so well has a major effect on morale. I also love how all the numbers/profits/stats are shared with the whole company, never seen anything like it

Cons

...seems to be the best job I've ever had i am hoping that 401k matching will be offered at some point, but it would just be icing on the cake

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
