Pros

Fantastic benefits (PPO plans for medical and dental) Unlimited PTO (though likely intentional so they don't have to pay out accrued time off)

Cons

The aggregated sales experience across the sales leadership team is about 7 years, with some "leaders" possessing none. An Ivy League degree will promote you quickly here. The sales organization has grown dramatically during COVID but has reached a dramatic halt as they incessantly implement a Long Term Care outbound strategy across all verticals. Although experimentation is very common across companies looking to explore new verticals, because leadership has little experiential knowledge of sales, they assume all verticals have the same timeline and process as Long Term Care which has wreaked havoc across entire teams battling longer sales cycles (much to the dismay and annoyance of "leadership"). Furthermore, with leaders lacking real sales experience, it is very, very difficult to explain that not all verticals and sales processes follow the one call close methodology that they have grown accustomed to in abnormal times (COVID). Lastly, Ivy League credentials do not equate to effective sales leadership - just groupthink mindsets that are far, far from reality and what is actually happening on the sales floor. Growth will remain challenging as this mindset and internal kool aid drinking politics doesn't foster any honest and true feedback to truly understand the real objections that customers in new verticals are proposing.

Pros

Unlimited paid time off is one of the company's strongest benefits

Cons

- There was a lack of transparency, consistent feedback, and fair recognition of employees' contributions. On several occasions, I felt that ideas and work produced by team members were presented to senior leadership without proper acknowledgment. - Performance management felt inconsistent. You will not receive actionable guidance that would have allowed me to improve before major decisions were made. This created an environment where success felt difficult to achieve. - HR appeared to prioritize management's perspective, and I felt there was a balanced opportunity for employees to fully share their side before decisions were made. A more transparent and impartial process would help build trust across the organization.
