Svantaggi
The sales department is run like a combination of a call center and a sweat shop. There are literally metrics for everything. They are basically trying to force you to always be working. You have no privacy or freedom and management doesn't trust their staff. If you question the lack of a work/life balance or the micromanagement they even have a pre-made presentation that they do on the fly where they draw a funnel and show you that if you are not always filling the funnel your sales results will drip to nothing. If you're not 22 years old and don't know any better this is a very difficult way to live. In training I felt like I was being hazed. They send you to Ft Meyers for several weeks and you're there on the weekends too unless you want to fly home on your own dime. I don't know how this place ever appears on lists of top employers. Again, I suspect that someone has a connection within management that gets these accolades for them. This company is so far off working for Apple or Google that there is not even a semblance in any way, shape or form to that sort of trusted and nourishing environment. The benefits here are not that good. The CEO is constantly trimming them so the stock price does pretty well but unless you are a C level executive all you will get is access to the ESPP program and no grants or options. The health insurance is bare bones too.
