Pros

Remote for my team though this can vary between different business units. Benefits are good with 401k match and paid holidays.

Cons

Declining since investment from Apollo. For sales are quotas are unrealistic with even direct leadership agreeing. No help from marketing or plans to reach those quotas. Last year they increase quota and decreased our commission so literally told to do more for less. Communication is abhorrent between teams like finances, sales, customer experience etc. ELT doesn't really listen. Just gives you the appearance of listening but nothing is addressed or done. Compensation is not great compared to other organizations. Unrealistic expectations of work that can be done. Only so much room on someone's plate.
