Vantaggi

Work/life balance Free food Casual dress code Cool office Having flexible hours is nice...can choose what you work within a specific timeframe

Svantaggi

Honestly, everything. The job was made out to be so different in the interview process than it actually is. Pay is a joke, base salary alone does not cover cost of living in Nashville. In the interview they don’t tell you that commission is basically a 1-month waiting period, so don’t expect to make ANY money your first month (and that’s only if you are lucky enough to get a sale right away....you won’t) micromanagement is insane. Taught in training to “stick to the script” but when you do, your manager talks down to you and tells you not to use the script. But then when you don’t, you get in trouble for that. The only way to please management is to have sales. That’s it. And they are hard to come by. This company also uses scare tactics. New hires are put on a 90 day probation, which makes sense...however if you don’t get 8 sales in 90 days, you are fired. Doesn’t matter if you have 7 sales at day 90 and are very promising- you’re done. NO job security. And they love to remind you of that. Just...stay away. It’s not worth the stress and anxiety that comes with the job. Oh, don’t get sick or you’ll have to run your PTO into the negative. Or come to work and not be productive and get in trouble.

Vantaggi

Great learning environment. Great training. Amazing people. Benefits started on day one. Fully remote. I will say i came down with COVID-19 and had continued health issues that kept me from working for 4 months. They worked with me and I came back to be successful in the role. I loved my team and my immediate leadership. I think if you are straight out of college or want to try sales. They are a great place to cut your teeth

Svantaggi

Base pay is barely above minimum wage here in Washington. Most of the people were working two jobs. Leads are not warm or cool. They are many times incomplete and ice cold. They also make you stay an SDR for a year minimum and changed the rules on the requirements to be promoted to AE on training classes the were a month away from their 12th month. To many mini meetings everyday. 3 per day is waaaay to much. While it breaks up the day it also messes with your call flow.
