Business Outlook

Pros

- Great people & Leadership: Really smart people with strong morals. You will grow and learn a lot here. Well oiled machine. And it's easy to respect the company. "Just good people" - Good product: But you have to really believe in it to sell it well in my opinion. It's not a simple data based selling motion, you need to be a story teller and paint the vision because the data alone doesn't seal the deal. You also have to help the client adopt. - Great pay and benefits: AMAZING campus food - Straight forward business model and pricing: Product itself is easy to learn and package

Cons

- Wear a lot of hats with a lot of work: You train, grow, renew, hold value reviews, health checks, handle support, etc. without much help. It's a lot of learning on the job and takes almost a year to feel comfortable. You pretty much learn exclusively from tribal knowledge, which can be overwhelming. - High expectations and not a lot of room for missing your number: They have a pretty black and white process for the percentages you need to maintain to keep your job without a lot of room for subjectivity. Saw many people let go. - Could be good or bad but people are VERY into their work, definitely feels like it's a part of everyones identity which can be intense if that's not you.
