Pros

Product is pretty good if you only need it for an ATS, onboarding, and hiring. The transition from sales to implementation went smooth for clients which made the job easier. Co-workers were friendly and helpful.

Cons

- Being a robot and using the same lines for every sale. Lack of personality was welcomed, as long as you can memorize the script- you'll be fine. -Constant change in titles as a sales rep, if you sold more you'd move to a Sr. Account Exec. role, if you didn't meet those requirements you'd be demoted with a huge downgrade in pay until you worked your way back up. -Management would give more leads to seasoned sales reps, causing friction between other sales reps. -If you didn't hit quota one month, you'd be put on a plan and every day you would be told if you don't hit quota they were going to have to let you go. -When I asked to take well earned PTO, I was denied, however my manager would take PTO whenever they liked. - Payroll lacked job costing and labor distribution which deterred most of my clients away. -Lack of integrations with other basic payroll systems. -Leads from all over the country, so you could be taking a call at 3am.

Pros

At the end of my tenure, I really have no pros.

Cons

I'm pretty sure I was "quietly laid off", in the effort of sneaky downsizing without having to actually do formal layoffs. This place was a godsend and a great place to work on my small independent team, and I did great. Then they did massive restructuring, added layers of hierarchy, added process, and basically just starting running a creative team like a line of factory workers. I had a horrible time with my manager on so many different levels, and felt validation when others would reflect the same, but I reflect what everyone else says - narcissistic, micro managing leadership that I now understand play manipulation games. I was put on a performance improvement plan and finally quit due to burnout, stress, and the dissolution of a role and a team that I had from before. They constantly push for solutions and deliverables, but I never really saw anything I delivered actually get treated and implemented with respect. Company policies and siloed team policies and procedures stymie actual effectiveness, and it seems like the leadership acts as your strict grade school teacher rather than having your back.
