Pros

Compensation and recognition is good relative to industry standards, but it comes at a cost.

Cons

The most toxic work environment I have ever experienced. Mid-level sales managers will lie to you, play favorites, reprimand you unfairly, hand you unreasonable goals and provide zero support, and no matter how much positive recognition you receive ( 10 sales awards over 10 years) you will never really feel safe, trusted or valued! Your commission plan changes radically every year as they discover new and innovative ways to make you work harder for less. Also, I would take any positive reviews on here with a grain of salt as I was personally asked if I would come and leave a positive review a couple times by my direct manager. Renaissance cares deeply about what is said here, because their reputation has been plummeting over the years.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
