Pros

The biggest positive is Nextiva is NOT a woke company. Too many tech companies identify their employees by color, race, gender fluidity, but at least they don't buy into that garbage. Lot's of good teammates, and rank & file employees trying to help clients.

Cons

Don't expect to be paid your commissions when you leave. They hide a forfeiture clause in the comp plan, meaning you are screwed when you quit unless you time your departure perfectly. The product has serious issues. Most employees don't even adopt the same video or messaging tools they are selling to businesses. The company is trying to be an enterprise solution, when it's really a small business software platform. The client relationship managers work super hard to retain the clients, but the products and tech support are so bad, the customer churn continues no matter their efforts. Many talented people do not stay long.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
