Pros

Free drinks?... 🤷‍♂️ A Cool location

Cons

Where to begin... - It is all about numbers. Numbers over everything. -Every month is some whole new transformation to how they want to role things out. Be prepared to have things turn upside down in the blink of an eye. -Numbers... not employees. -Unlimited pto is a trap and totally unattainable. Only the very few top guys can get there once they hit quota. A great question to ask in your interview if you have one–"what % of SDRs/AEs hit their quota last month?" Ask for the most recent months or else they will give you outdated numbers from a totally different setup. -The org as a whole is lacking in company values–or they just do not care to implement them. -Brodium for sure. If you are looking for summer sales in an office, this is it. I think I made more money in summer sales though... -Pay is not good unless you are a top performer. You can only really make any decent money if you are consistently hitting quota every month and even then it's too low. -Resources to perform well... HA. Negative. "go on to google maps and call this business... DIALS DIALS DIALS let's gooooo!" -Training... "figure it out" mentality, ppl will say they are there to help... really difficult to actually ge that time/help.

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.
