High Turnover, High Quota, Lack of Business Sense

Pros

Benefits are good but at this point standard for companies who want to stay relevant. New office is pretty cool.

Cons

The turnover can’t be explained as anything other than layoffs that they don’t want to report to the shareholders. I count at least 10 people this year and that’s just one business segment, and not including upper leadership who they also went though a round of ousting with a couple months back. PIP’s I hear are at least 2 a month…if you feel you can sustainably hit every month an almost $10k quota be my guest, but managers and sales tools aren’t there to help you and your book of business isn’t big enough to help you either. Promotions come out of nothing but being well liked…all the things you want from a job this job won’t give you and it’s really not a diverse environment within sales at all…absolute joke #’s of women and BIPOC to the point where it should be illegal. This place makes you feel like you’re the problem. You’re not. Don’t work here, there’s better options with actual market fair base pay. Word on the street is also they cut your earnings on ramp too so in an interview I’d suggest asking a lot about this.

We appreciate this review and agree the new office is awesome! Next time you’re there, we hope you’ll chat with your manager or HRBP about your concerns and ideas, and to talk through the most up-to-date facts about our attrition, promotion criteria, and compensation model. While diversity has increased over the past few years, we agree there is an opportunity to grow it even more.
