It really pains me to have to write in this section but something has come up that needs to be addressed. Before a few days ago this section would have been very slim. To be quite frank there aren't a lot of cons.
Except one...
Glassdoor is a fast growing company and it has growing pains. Often times these pains can be swept aside and easily masked behind a wave of positive attributes. Things are changing. Glassdoor has always been known for underpaying its reps. The carrot that has kept everyone working is vested interest in the company. The company is reaching a point where they are asking too much of their reps without showing good faith in return. Upper management and most likely the board want to squeeze every last possible dollar out of its sales team while paying them significantly less than market value.
If you look at a lot of reps they aren't even mad at the recent slash in comp plans. They are defeated! Many live and breathe Glassdoor and are huge contributors to reaching lofty sales org goals. Only to see that hard work used against them in the following years comp and quota plans.
Slashing an already underpaid sales team with no warning is not what Glassdoor represents. We are different than other companies in so many ways. Why do we forget transparency when it comes to the most important reason we all work in the first place?
The majority of these reps will not make it big when the company decides to go public. We will still be working extremely hard to make this company successful and reach all of its goals.
Large changes like this come from the top. Can Glassdoor really afford to loose it's top talent right now?
