Pros

People doing the actual work care deeply about the mission and are committed to helping the company be successful.

Cons

Private equity ruined this company. It went from being a people-centered and mission-centered organization to one driven solely by spreadsheets and profits. This culture may be fine in the Silicon Valley but it doesn't fly in Central Wisconsin where honesty and integrity still matter. People at the highest level of this company are some of the most disingenuous and narcissistic people I've encountered in my career. They have totally lost the trust and confidence of the employees. Such a shame for this to happen to what was once a great place to work.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
