Pros

Culture was great, as were my peers. Lots of PTO. On-site health clinic.

Cons

The CEO drove the company into the ground. Lost a lot of money because of his ideas, and then came the layoffs and selling to Home Adviser. It seems he only signed on to AL to make it fail and take a payout. Meanwhile, he devastated tons of employees' livelihoods. Sizable layoffs are a common thing now (or laying people off in chunks over several weeks), people live in fear of being called into an unplanned meeting only to be met with a layoff. Morale is very poor and most people are looking for other opportunities. They are a fan of laying off the more senior & experienced staff in favor of cheaper, inexperienced workers. The product itself is already shoddy, so enlisting inexperienced employees is a very poor decision. This makes it difficult to advance in the company. They don't respect any of their values to lower level employees, and it's obvious that this one-time fun, growing company has turned into nothing but a corporate greed machine -- doing whatever it takes to feed dollars into executives' pockets. I don't expect the company to be around in 2018 since it's been sold to HA and layoffs have been accelerated.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
