Vantaggi

Nice location and the people were nice.

Svantaggi

Literally everything else. I have not had straight up panic about showing up to work before this job. They pretty much tell you to abandon your morals at the door to convince people to take their bad deals like Groupon is doing them a favor. They don't care about the person just the numbers. Work life balance? Hahaha they say that but then gently hint that you should be doing research while you're at home and praise the people who take calls outside of work hours. They hire in large groups of people and throw them in the deep end immediately so they can get rid of the people who aren't up to their arbitrary standards. How about focus on retention of the people you do hire? Being worried you could get fired at any moment causes unnecessary extra stress on people. The turnover rate must be crazy cause I think there was maybe one person I met who was with the company for more than a year so everyone in management is still pretty freaking new.

Vantaggi

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Svantaggi

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
