Pros

Decent pay, Centrally located office.

Cons

Non existent onboarding/training Managers who don't know anything about the product, business, internal processes or how to talk to the prospects overly complex tech stack that includes some really great tools they don't even use correctly Over reliance on Generative AI for every single thing Toxic & micromanage-y culture redundant meetings, daily reports that don't help you move the needle Sales Hygiene? They've never heard of it. In my experience, I had "600" accounts and 75% of the accounts were duplicates, fakes, defunct, or miscategorized and no, they will not clean up the data no matter how much you ask. It is just accepted amongst the team (and managers) that everyone is working the same accounts. It's a scrappy, toxic and weird atmosphere.

Pros

Experience at a fast pace start-up, always learning something new, unlimited PTO (which is necessary).

Cons

Raised our monthly quota metrics by 20k 5 days into the month with the premise of AI boom. No actual data of how AI product sells prior to quota strategy adjustment - comically disrespectful. Unrealistic work standards - supporting books of business with 500+ accounts, highly re-active role, often abusive experiences externally, as well as internally. Everyone is so over capacity it's a name game and finger point on who created X issue, more energy / time spent on individuals avoiding accountability / responsibility - truly exhausting. Not to mention, you are completely overwhelmed with notifications - +100 slack dms daily, escalation emails, support tickets. There is no capacity to give clients the attention that is required, creates an endless feedback loop. Burnout is the #1 issue, and has been communicated and acknowledged for over a year, no changes have been set in place.
