hoping for a change in the right direction
Pros
- Robert Hohman. Such an incredible leader and we all have passion for him as employees. He will always find time for you, which really says a lot. Don't think there's any leader that I'd want to fight for more then this guy here! -My coworkers! So much talent at Glassdoor, great to have co workers that can teach you so much. On top of that, some of my best friends have come from this group. We enjoy each other in and outside of work, and everyone seems to have a great head on their shoulders. - Helped, and let, me grow as a sales professional. - sales training was top class. Sandler training is something I recommend everyone take. - leaders find time to give advice on how to get both short and long term success. - company will let you run wild with an idea to see where it goes. Freedom to make a name for yourself.
Cons
Culture is shot. Lots of employees on the sales team are super unhappy, and losing their patience. Why? - Nobody hits quota. Our targets are unattainable. Our books of business are saturated, and we're loosing more accounts by the day due to all the hiring happening in Chicago. - Nobody gets paid. Glassdoor is well below industry average (by ten's of thousands) when looking at OTE. Per my last note, nobody hits quota, so our pay is even lower compared to all the companies across the bridge in SF. - Lack of coaching. The training is great when you start, and even in the first year it was good because manager had time for us. Now days, I find that all my coaching comes from my co-workers. And they're smart, which is great, but my managers who are suppose to be the sales experts have no time to invest in me bc we're so low on their priority list. Their focuses: hiring, forecasting, controlling teams that are way too big for their own good. - Company culture near gone. This is the most saddening one bc this was the one part that use to separate Glassdoor from all and above. Mill Valley is a ghost town. Everyone is so worked up about getting on a performance plan and wanting to get paid, that there's no time to smell the roses and enjoy each other like we once did. Additionally, our executive team is so focused on profitiability (which is great, and better then someone who isn't tracking that so closely) that it's taken a noticeable priority over investing in their own employees. I haven't had a team event or happy hour in the last 5 months. That's not the Glassdoor I know....
