Pros

The people you work with at the team level are talented, supportive, and genuinely invested in doing good work despite the challenges.

Cons

There has been a noticeable exodus of senior leaders, which reflects deeper structural issues within the organization. Executive leadership has driven the company in a direction that has resulted in repeated missed targets and unrealistic sales expectations. Accountability consistently falls on frontline sales teams rather than on leadership decisions that set unattainable goals. Middle management has limited authority or visibility into executive decision-making, leaving them unable to effectively support their teams. Tenure and loyalty no longer seem to matter—performance is reduced to numbers alone, regardless of context. This has been especially frustrating for long-tenured employees who have invested years into the company and are now seeing morale and trust erode.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
