Pros

- A great place to get your feet wet and grow in many different directions. -free parking at Brisbane location

Cons

- the company lacks leadership. It’s a girls and boys club for those who know the people in charge. - it’s important to note how companies treated their employees during the 2020 covid-19 pandemic. This company was able to lay-off 20% of its workforce off while simultaneously hiring people to fill those positions—the weeks leading up to their layoffs. Communication completely stopped. Leaving employees abandoned and fearful for their jobs and their families who they support. Based on this alone, I would never recommend anyone to apply for a job here. - there is absolutely no visibility into anything. There’s so much misinformation that you can easily see leadership on television telling the country misinformation. You get most of your company updates via gossip. - this is not a learning environment.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
