Pros

Benefits are fantastic Caring direct Manager Great in person environment

Cons

Management overbooked with meetings and unavailable Open door policy leads to bullying and gaslighting Ever growing targets with less and less attainability for reps (from 70% attainability to average of 35% in a few years) Removed work life balance policies Constant rolling out of changes that are half ready at a frequency that is dizzying Employee feedback swept away and not actioned Recently cut a full level of leadership limiting support to sales reps Over hiring leaving fewer leads per rep

Pros

Flexible hours, unlimited PTO, in a position to really grow after a few really rough years.

Cons

Too many "yes" people near the top. VPs and directors want certain things done that they assume it will get done even if you show them hard evidence that it's not possible. If you give them a time line, they assume you can do it In half the time which is not how I work. Also there is a lot of " the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing"
