Pros

Original mission and values of company are awesome.

Cons

Completely new senior leaders who are only concerned with self-preservation rather than the customers or the community. Very low pay. People get paid more, or less than others in the same roles based on favortism. the ceo isn't involved in the business, but still gets a salary and hangs out in the office. new coo isn't from bay area and is disconnected from values of company.

Pros

Met some great prospects and some good customers

Cons

This company is a joke. Their own internal team can't get along with each other. No communciation within this company. Very poor and untrained Sales Managers. They also tell a story about their "Giving Back" to local non-profit organizations. I questioned this as well. Just look at the turnover in the sales department.. It's their management style that creates people to leave this company in a very short period of time.

Hire, Fire and never look within

Pros

Small community donations each year.

Cons

More smart, good people come and go at this company in 1 years' time than you'll see successfully working long tenures at other companies. People who thrive in other environments fail here, yet the leaders never look inward and ask themselves, Why? Why do good people keep leaving or 'not working out'? I met many overworked, unhappy staff who were looking for other jobs. Many others were blindsighted by firings that came without warning. I think the company had approx. 50 new hires (that's 50% of staff) in 2011/12, but yet they never look at this huge HR failure in terms of management - they just keep hiring and firing in an endless cycle, blaming the individuals for not succeeding. As someone else pointed out, there's also a sense of juvenile 'cliques' in management: some pretty unprofessional behaviors, with much more drama than necessary - or that's seen at other companies.
