Pros

People, Atmosphere, encouragement, culture, benefits, competitive pay

Cons

Changes directions too fast and sales team takes the hit because of how hard it is to adjust. Changes that happen without notice. Never know how we are getting paid. Seems to weed out tenured reps and bring lower paid reps in scares you out of wanting to move up and excel in the company.

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.

Dear Sender, We're sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations. We recognize that developing and scaling a successful channel program comes with challenges, which is why we invest in hiring experienced specialists for these roles. As with any performance-driven position, managers may ask questions, provide guidance, and regularly review progress to help teams stay aligned with business goals. We understand that these interactions can be perceived differently depending on individual experiences. We appreciate your perspective and wish you all the best in your future career. Yours, the Semrush Team
