Vantaggi

Remote work, interview process was smooth (although opaque), pleasant people internally.

Svantaggi

Where to begin. They overpromise, under-train, describe the sales cycle differently than it really is. Above all the day-to-day sales expectations are not at all what they say they are throughout the interview process (hence why it went so smooth). I began in a new hire class of approximately 40 people given how many attendees were on the Zoom calls. After failing to reach metrics in order to "graduate" training, I was put on PIP and later terminated. I had a few LinkedIn connects that were apart of the graduating class reach out and ask if I survived, and they filled in that over half of the class had not. The overall tenure for over 50% of the new hire class lasted less than three months. Nowhere will you find any metrics on employee turnover related to Podium. When I believed I was starting a new promising sales role at an exciting growth company, I had actually been stepping away from a rock-solid tech company into a graveyard of salespeople.

Vantaggi

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Svantaggi

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
