Pros

Decent pay, Centrally located office.

Cons

Non existent onboarding/training Managers who don't know anything about the product, business, internal processes or how to talk to the prospects overly complex tech stack that includes some really great tools they don't even use correctly Over reliance on Generative AI for every single thing Toxic & micromanage-y culture redundant meetings, daily reports that don't help you move the needle Sales Hygiene? They've never heard of it. In my experience, I had "600" accounts and 75% of the accounts were duplicates, fakes, defunct, or miscategorized and no, they will not clean up the data no matter how much you ask. It is just accepted amongst the team (and managers) that everyone is working the same accounts. It's a scrappy, toxic and weird atmosphere.

Pros

They hire amazing people Reputable reputation for a resume Meaningful work WFH annual stipend ($600)

Cons

“Be Frugal” is a company value and trust me it shows. (Salary, travel, software, etc.) They have no shame in the fact that they prioritize Company revenue over employee health. When rolling out new products employees are expected to absorb the extra bandwidth and not complain about it when things go operationally wrong and it has an adverse effect on the employee. They are expected to ignore it and continue to absorb the work. They continue to hire externally for talent rather than developing internally. They have zero resources for developing employees. If you want to succeed in this company, you need to figure out how to develop yourself. They are not transparent with the fact that they expect you to work more than 40 hours a week. There are occasional folks who can manage the workload in 40 hours, but that’s not the norm.
