Pros

I love working from home.

Cons

Our onboarding process is a joke! We can sell the best deal in sales, and they will cancel 2 days later because our onboarding process sucks. Hey customer, if you sign today, we will get you up and running quickly. Oh wait, we will send you a whole bunch of emails first so you can try and figure out how to setup your account yourself. Once you figure that out, go ahead and try to figure out how to use it and start sending messages to your customers. Oh you have questions, sorry we can't call you or talk to you about it until your team training 7 days day from now. You need help now? Yea sorry that's not how our process works. Yes I'm your CS rep but I am not allowed to help you until 30 days from now when the onboarding team is done with you. Oh you wanna cancel? Ok hold on, let me go ask my manager Sean if I can break protocol and give you call. Best part sales still get the clawback even if it's totally out of their control why the customer cancelled. I can go on and on about how crappy things are internally. But hey just dial some more and smile. The harder you work, the luckier you get.

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.
