Career Opportunities: What career opportunities?
- When I was hired, I was told if I hit certain metrics I would be promoted. I surpassed those metrics and was told "do it again, just a few more months". After hitting those metrics, it was a different excuse, then another, and another. They promise the world during the interview process, they're all lies.
- Management wouldn’t recognize talent if it smacked them in the face. They’ve lost so many strong employees because of broken promises, mismanagement, no direction, lack of upward movement, or being passed over because of a popularity contest rather than talent/skill.
Compensation & Benefits:
- No joke, they changed the compensation and commission structure 6 times in the 2 years I was there and I’ve heard they’ve changed it several more times since I’ve left.
- If you're in sales, I wouldn't come near this place if you're looking to make money. DON'T BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY SAY "If you hit quota, you could make $xxx.. it's all a lie, it will change month over month. Nobody is hitting quota consistently. Nobody.
- If you leave the company, they won't send you the money they owe you in commission.
Culture & Values:
- They preach values only to turn around disregard them the moment they have an opportunity to be put to use!
- People Ops team believes hosting parties off-site at their condo helps build trust with the employees - but the first second there is a chance to reveal confidential information entrusted with they take it and use it to make themselves look good. You'll get thrown under the bus at the first moment it benefits them.
Diversity & Inclusion:
- As part of the initial DEI team, I can share that the leadership had no interest in supporting Diversity & Inclusion.
- This was an employee-driven initiative that had zero support from the leadership team.
Senior Management:
- By far the biggest crime of them all! From the previous leader, VP level, the so-called Enterprise level, to the AE/SDR Sales Managers, this is the worst group of executive-level management I've ever experienced.
- Think high school, mean girls, boys club, popular group, and especially the bro culture. This is what makes up the leadership team at Paro.
Work/Life Balance:
- Hey, this is a fair review. They allowed for a healthy work/life balance with options for being remote, and I noticed they offered flexibility for those with kids.
