Pros

Some people in the sales office were open to offering advice when I asked for it. I learned that 65 dials isn’t that many. Nobody coached me on this, I just learned the hard way.

Cons

As a brand new B2B sales rep, I received one week of training about product and sales tactics. Following I received one week of shadowing experienced reps. The training was confusing and had no understanding of who the customer was, why the product was relevant to them, and how to talk to them like people. This is not a company to go to with no experience. They give you a script that takes 12 seconds to read, tell you to read it to everyone you talk to on the phone, and give you no training on how to overcome objections, convey value, timelines for follow-ups and touch points, or what the heck the product actually is. One of the senior reps once said “I wouldn’t want anyone I know to work here.” I agree with their sentiment.

Pros

I’ve had a very positive experience working at LeadVenture. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and focused on continuous learning and growth. Leadership encourages innovation and gives employees opportunities to contribute meaningful ideas and take ownership of their work. One thing I especially appreciate is the emphasis on professional development and teamwork. Colleagues are approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely willing to help each other succeed. The company also does a good job of adapting to change and encouraging new ways of thinking. I would recommend this company to professionals looking for a place where they can grow their skills, collaborate with talented people, and make an impact.

Cons

Like any organization, there are areas that could continue to improve, particularly around prioritization and communication during fast-moving initiatives, but overall the environment is motivating and rewarding.

Pros

Fairly fair pay. Remote opportunities. When I started there, the culture and outlook was strong.

Cons

Over the past year, the C-suite at this company has ripped apart any main structure or nuance that was working well in favor of chaos. Because of this, company is failing, and their solution is to push out any talented and loyal talent in favor of those who embrace chaos, and won't push back in favor of best practices. Testing and experimenting, while encouraged, is something that the C-Suite has no desire for - what they say goes, and if you question anything, prepare to be put on a list. The only way up is to suck up. They only want subservient employees, and a very clear hierarchical structure, despite consistent messages from C-Sutie that the company is becoming flat. So, if you like realistic deadlines and expectations, clear and honest two way conversations, process, documentation, clear outcomes, KPIs that are consistent with realistic goals, a culture that embraces teamwork and mindfulness and true work/life balance - this company is NOT for you. If you're a glutton for punishment, apply away.
