Pros

Strong compensation plan. Application really addresses key issues businesses are facing with attracting and retaining talent. So, we have a unique story and a unique perspective on how we help clients. We develop ALL of our technology so we also have incredible agility to respond to market needs. And we believe feedback is a gift and partner directly with our clients to ensure we understand the best way to address their needs. Our development roadmap is consistent year over year. We invest 10-15% of our annual revenues back into the application every year. It is pretty incredible. And most of the enhancements are completely free to our clients. We add value month over month and are not asking clients for additional spend. What vendor/partner do you know that cares about what you want/need, consistently asks for that feedback, adds that into the enhancements they provide and doesn't ask for additional $ to access the enhancements? I can't think of one.

Cons

Territory cuts, working with managers with a lot less experience (to be expected with this much time in industry)

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

The pay is decent compared to the market and the tech is solid.

Cons

The company is abandoning their strategy of "partner first" and is doing their best to become a worse version of Paychex/ADP... Every decision that comes from the top seems so disconnected with reality. Turnover is a huge problem. In just 12 months I've had turnover in my director, channel partner managers, channel support, partner services, RVP, SDR, and more. It's impossible to get anything done when every position around you is a revolving door. Everyone I speak with across lines of business has a similar story. It is a mess across the entire org.
