Pros

Base pay & benefits were very good. Coworkers were good, but always very stressed.

Cons

Micromanaging is at an all-time high. CEO said Zoom was dead and requires all meetings to be in person. This is okay if you have a territory in your backyard, but when you have to travel 3-4 hours to get to these meetings, it’s not realistic. If a prospect cancels on you ahead of time, you are expected to show up anyway (regardless of the distance) and force anyone to meet with you. They praise people who camp out in parking lots for hours to wait for someone to talk to them. The CEO glamorized getting restraining orders from companies because that “shows how much we want their business”. The training is bogus and does not prepare you for these C-Level meetings you have to run by yourself and have no idea what you’re talking about. The sales process also changes every 2 weeks and you are expected to start executing these changes the day they tell you about it. They just run a 20 minute role play and say, “forget everything you learned before and start doing it this way”. If all you care about is getting rich, maybe this job is for you. If you care at all about your sanity, stay away.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

* Fast learning and professional skill growth. * Great people and strong teams. * Recognized name in the OKC community. * Valuable experience that strengthens future career opportunities, especially in Tech.

Cons

Over the past couple of years, career growth has felt extremely limited. Promotions and meaningful raises have become increasingly rare, and many employees believe these decisions are being driven from the very top. Layoffs and terminations have also become common, creating a constant sense of uncertainty. High performers often take on high-visibility projects with aggressive timelines and limited support. The expectations are unrealistic, and even successful delivery doesn’t usually lead to recognition or advancement. Leadership tends to make decisions very late, creating unnecessary urgency and forcing teams into last-minute scrambles. Benefits have declined, opportunities for advancement have become scarce, and overall morale has suffered significantly. There are talented people here and it can be a good place to gain experience, but I would view it primarily as a stepping stone rather than a long-term destination.
