Pros

They provide fruit twice a week. They flexible when it comes to working remotely for personal reasons.

Cons

The management staff there is very bad. Every good manager has left within a couple of months after realizing their mistake. The company is also racist so please don't think you will ever be appreciated as a person of color. The people are overworked, under-appreciated, and severely underpaid. HR is unresponsive to complaints and will cover injustices rather than fix them. Any five-star review is given strategically by the Marketing department to maintain an acceptable score. Technical Support is the worst department of all. The customers don't even like the company. I am leaving ASAP!

Pros

free fruit and soda, very nice coworkers who want you to succeed and are always open to you shadowing them to learn the ropes.

Cons

the commission structure is absolutely abysmal. There is a cap to what you can make on a large deal, so any hard work you put in will not have the large impact on your paycheck that you deserve. There is also a claw back system where if you make a sale and someone on implementation or customer success mess up and the customer wants to terminate the contract, it will be counted against you as negative. So if you make a 10k deal and SOMEONE ELSE IN ANOTHER DEPARTMENT MESSES UP, you will have a negative booking value until you can sell enough to make up for it. The business model is absolute garbage. No one knows what they are doing in leadership. There is no such thing as communication with other departments, so after you sell the product, all you can do is pray that no one messes up your commission.

Pros

My Director is a great person

Cons

The base salary is absolutely terrible. When you compare $45,000.00 to other salaries in our space, it’s in the bottom 1%. ABILITY likes to say they are a “performance based organization,” which is a coward's way of hiding behind the fact they don’t place any value on experience and skill-set. They constantly espouse wanting employees to gain greater exposure to the organization, through promotion, and openly encourage applying for other positions; however, everyone at ABILITY knows that management has already decided who they want to hire, before the job has been posted.
