Pros

The team work is strong in the Sage sales side, I worked with some really great people. Nice downtown office with amazing view of the city!

Cons

Completely unorganized as a Sales Department, no one is on the same page. Managers gossip about other managers, within the sales department as well as the marketing department. Sales managers tell their teams about what the managers problems are, stating "they don't belong in that position" "they got this job because a friend works here". Even WORSE some managers talk in a disbelief of how their manager got the job. Stating he doesn't know what he is doing, he only received the job from knowing someone in higher up management. Also sales managers gossip about some of their team to other teammates. There is no reason why other teammates know that someone is about to be placed on PIP before they do, that is completely unprofessional as a manager. To then lie about the situation is also a an eye opener itself to his/her character. From the time started until half way into the year a the bonus plan was completely unorganized. Commission scale would be changed in the middle of the month with no hope for bonus for 6 months. Stated a guarantee bonus will be in place but that was also a lie. Hands down this Sage Live department needs a lot of work.

Thanks for your review. Really pleased to hear your colleagues were great and the team work well together, it's something we always hear - i.e. our people are fantastic and make the best colleagues you can imagine. We don't accept unethical behaviour at Sage, and some of what you describe sits under this heading. We have a confidential helpline our colleagues can call - it's called SafeCall. We've had a recent campaign across all Sage offices pointing this out to our colleagues - saying they should call this number in confidence if they see something which concerns them. We strongly advise this of all colleagues and this behaviour needs stamping out. Thanks for letting us know, and hope all works out well for you in your new role, wherever that may be.

Thanks for review. Of all the pros we receive, our awesome colleagues always comes top - this is fantastic and makes your working day so much easier when you have supporting, friendly people around you. We have been working hard to improve communications - from Sage Live TV broadcasts, YourSage global intranet with local and company-wide communications, weekly 1-2-1s, All Hands Calls, leadership 'fire-side chats'/round tables etc. Sage values its people - everything from the recent summer parties held to say thank you for your hard work, other local events such as Christmas parties, our employee assistance programme and great benefits. investing in our physical infrastructure with fantastic offices - these are a few examples of what Sage does. Plus, giving back to the community by each colleague having the opportunity to spend 5 days per year volunteering. Thanks again for your feedback.

Thanks for your review. We are glad the 6% 401K match is well received. I am sorry you feel Sage is disorganised but without further context, it's difficult to respond accurately. As you know, we have transformed the business recently to create One Sage, and the internal document 'The Sage Way' outlines how we are organized across our seven regions and functions. It sets out how we collaborate, how we live our values, and how we flawlessly execute to put our customers first. Sage Way is about bringing brilliant execution, a strong and positive culture, and our cause of supporting the business builders together. We have amazing people, great products that every business on this planet needs, and a cause that inspires us to do our very personal best. Thanks for your review.
