Pros

In 9 months, I have been through 4 different pay structures. Each of them slowly decreasing my income. The company is going through major changes and job security is zero. If you are considering a sales position- proceed with caution. Ask many questions in the interview regarding compensation and be prepared to survive on your base salary alone. Pros: PTO, benefits, in the process of major (forward?) change

Cons

Cons: ever changing compensation plans, higher (achievable) sales goals, outdated management style (although they are trying to change). Co-workers with a lot of drama... Upward mobility is challenging (especially if you're not part of the clique). The sales teams are being replaced by younger people, it's a great indicator that the company no longer wants to invest in its sales department.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
