Pros

Exposure to tech sales Entry level Office and snacks

Cons

Absolutely shocking company. Everybody is just a cog in the machine. My manager left after two weeks. Almost everybody there is completely new. Turnovers are the highest I've ever seen. Got fired after a month, even through targets. When systems weren't working, when asked for help got fired on no notice.

Pros

Great coworkers, lower-middle management, product, PTO “unlimited” which isn’t true but does allow flexible usage, generous 2 days off for many holidays, and catered food ~3 times a month, regularly stocked fridge with energy drinks, soda, and water.

Cons

Top down leadership disconnected from sales and customer success team. Little coordinated efforts between nearly every department. Overhauled the pay structure Jan 2026, getting rid of the performance based promotion and pay scaling. Preventing OM’s from making the advertised 77k leading to many of us now stuck at 60k or 66k w/ a horrible annualized raise schedule (high performers not getting raises left waiting for potential raises that likely won’t come this year). Nearly nonexistent HR that is hard to get in communication with.
