Pros

Great people. Product is fun. An effort is made to make things great.

Cons

At times it was like 20 year olds were running the show. Having moved on to another company, I'm reminded of adult-like behaviour. Many including management would talk about others behind their backs and contribute to a toxic culture that was normalized - which means that like a fish in water you don't notice it unless you're outside it.

Pros

Lots of different brands/companies to work with! Fun assignments!

Cons

Sometimes other photographers are chosen over you. The more assignments you complete, the more work you are offered.

Pros

Cool product idea Great people DO work here A couple legacy clients who account for probably 60% of the revenue (is that a pro?) A great way to hone your job hunting/interviewing skills

Cons

If you work on the Sales team..good luck hitting quota because no one has and no one will. They keep hiring more and more reps and your # stays the same but your territory gets smaller (still trying to figure this one out). The product is a "nice to have" so don't let them fool you into thinking that everyone is going to kill each other to get it Everyday you feel like it could be your last - it's a real great feeling to wake up to If you're reading the other reviews, doesn't it seem like someone in management is writing them? If you ask any of the reps there they won't tell you it's a "well oiled sales machine" or "The Sales operation has been well thought out and planned". If it's so thought out and planned then why is no one hitting their numbers on a team of 20 AE's and 20 SDR's

Hey there, thanks for taking the time to write this. As I hope you’ve heard, we’ve made some serious changes across our sales org over the past couple of months.. While it took time for the changes to take effect, we are now well on our way to an all star sales team. To get there, we dramatically corrected our quota expectations per AE and per SDR, hired a new sales leadership team which is focusing on coaching through positivity, teamwork & learning, we’ve created a new Sales Enablement function to support our sales people, and we’ve invested our COO with the responsibility to oversee our sales team (with CS and Delivery). I’m grateful that we’re now fostering a healthier, happier and more productive sales culture. Feel free to share any other feedback with our senior leadership team or me directly - Grant Munro CEO Flashstock
