Pros

- Fun work outings and company parties. - Young crowd - Fast Growth if you last long enough.

Cons

I can honestly say this was by far the worst work experience ive had. Managment is very inexperienced. You get promoted to sales manager from sales consultant purely based on performance and not the ability to manage. Managment has had no managment training whatsoever. A very aggressive approach to everything. You are forced to call companies who are not interested and force them to buy a product that doesn't even work effectively. This is a pure COLD CALL environment. Management is allowed to talk down to you and be condenscending they are within their rights to treat you however you like and nobody including HR will help you. You are basically a dog behind bars working there. You do and say as you are told and if you talk back or stand up for yourself they will get rid of you quick. This is not a consultive sales role. and lastly there is NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. you are expected to work over time without pay and then work from home too.

Pros

If you are new to sales, you might learn something

Cons

I truly had the worst year of my life at this company. First of all, there is no work life balance (the other comemnts were true). People actually nudged me to ask a colleague work stuff even though she was out sick. Secondly, management is terrible. There is no transparency when it comes to your own interests and people who stay at the company for longer than 5 years just do whatever they want and will fight over deals/leads. Thirdly, they even demote people without full transparency and will screw over your wage. Do not trust whatever they said they would offer during the offer call. I never even got the full payment.

Pros

I truly cannot think of one positive experience working at this horrible company, however I was recently compensated as a result of a class action lawsuit they settled for screwing me out of overtime wages. I’ll count that as a positive.

Cons

Basically a frat culture of “salespeople” shoveling a flashy but ultimately overpriced and frivolous product to businesses who can neither afford it nor find a substantial use case for it.
