Pros

Free lunches Lots of swag Nice office

Cons

The actual job is difficult and they expect you to perform at a HIGH level. They are not afraid to let any mediocre/hard-worker go. I saw so many people let go from this position if they weren't performing at 100%. The company is growing rapidly, and for some reason they let everyone go. They say you have unlimited PTO- however if you take time off you risk not hitting quota and as a result could get let go. I was relieved when I didn't work here anymore. I am a very social person who gets along with most everybody, especially in previous jobs. I have left all previous jobs with friendships intact. At Podium, there are many friend groups already established and very few people willing to step outside of them. When I left, I didn't have one person that I would keep in contact with despite me trying to reach out and develop relationships- even strictly professional ones. It was honestly very weird and I would never recommend anyone to work in an environment that they didn't feel welcome in.

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.
