Micro Managing to the Extreme

Support hero

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits are great and the only reason I stay.

Cons

First off, the support role is the hardest job I have ever worked. I grind for 7+ hours a day just to meet expectations. The management team (well a few managers) are so extreme when it comes to micromanaging that I am scared to go to the restroom. If they notice I have been on a break for more than 5 minutes I gets a slack asking what I am doing, I don’t feel trusted and that is so frustrating given that I have never given them a reason not to trust me and assume the best. If you are applying and get stuck with KM or KS I am so sorry! Also, if you plan on “growing” into a different role you are going to need to be exceeding expectations (125-150%).

Pros

If you are a new AE their SMB (AE1) role is fantastic. Great opportunity to learn sales and hone your skills. I don’t recommend going further than that.

Cons

I worked at BambooHR for over a year. I started in the AE1 role and hit my stride early. I was a top quota attaining rep month after month. I led the AE1 group and received a great deal of recognition and awards for being a top 3 performer month after month. Towards the end of my first year I was contacted by marketing to help them strategize ways to improve add-on attach rates on the sales floor after being the floor leader across all AE categories (1, 2, Senior) Around this same time I received my AE2 promotion. I was thrilled at the opportunity but little did I know this was the start of the end for me. During my short ramping period I had a few weaker months, which I feel should be expected adjusting to a different role. My manager assured me that it’s okay and that the other leaders knew my value and weren’t concerned about my performance. Not even a month later (right before Christmas) I was called into a meeting where I would be let go. My manager was in tears, she fought for me to keep my job but the higher ups said I had to go. This was NEVER on my radar, no PIP or good-to-great (BambooHRs own improvement plan) … nothing. If you are looking for a Mid-Market job or senior role this isn’t the place for you.

Terrible quota attainment

Account executive

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/life balance (although you will stress about your pipeline and opps when you are not working)

Cons

Low pay, unrealistic sales goals, constantly hiring more and more AE's instead of developing/promoting the ones they already have.
