Pros

- Flexible work schedule. They need to be commended for implementing work from home for their sales team prior to the pandemic. - Incredible front-line associates who legitimately care about what they do.

Cons

- Leadership views sales as purely a practice of volume. More calls, more sales. They turned Account Managers into SDRs essentially. - The pay is low, at best. A search of LinkedIn or Google tells you that you are making a minimum of 20% less than everyone else in the industry. This used to be OK, because the culture and the other benefits were so good. That is no longer the case. - DEI. DEI by itself is really positive and something they needed to focus on. DEI at the expense of everything else is a poor strategy. One would think there could be a balance between Unconscious Bias training and skill-building training, but it felt like the company was over-correcting for years of ignorance. - Values are a one-way street. Trust Each Other actually means Trust Upper Management. If you express concern it is met with a lot of things, but Trust isn't typically one of them.

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.
