Pros

ok they pay well no doubt but at what cost??

Cons

There's a strong and toxic bro culture at Podium which never seems to gets addressed. - Clear favouritism. Rules don't seem to apply to the top performers who get rewarded/promoted regardless of how they behave to others. - Limited support after onboarding - some people get far more coaching and help than others Managers are so in experienced and have non clue how to support or give constructive feedback! No work life balance, they encourage long working hours targets are unachievable

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
