Pros

Unlimited PTO - Which at same time is not a Pro.

Cons

Unlimited PTO ( have to put in a minimum of 2 weeks prior and up to management if they want to okay it) Quota on average is 50k a month, and unless you can find your own leads, it is near difficult to hit goal month over month, where they organization is hardly at a 100% goal as a team, and maybe 25% of the venue team actually is at the goal or over, and there are only five there that are hitting month over month. They say you're "in ramp" but, if you don't hit the first month, you already are on a warning. If you dont sell more than a specific percantge to goal you not ony get a warning of some sort but you will not get paid out. Your commissions are not paid out in full the following month they're spread out. If you are let go and are owed commissions, you will NOT be paid out Due to not making money as a team they are experimenting comp plans so what you get now might not be what you get in the next month or two.

Pros

I have worked for this company for a decade now, and I fall more in love with it every year. The company rewards hard work, innovation, and impact. I have been incredibly lucky to have fantastic leadership during my entire tenure—leaders who push me to be better, do better, and learn more. Open and honest communication is both encouraged and reciprocated. If you truly push yourself and do your best, you will thrive here and be compensated for it. I am really encouraged by our current leadership and the direction the company is heading. I truly feel as if we are on the forefront of all things wedding planning. At TKWW, employees, couples, and vendors are heard, and what is said is put into action. That is incredibly impressive to me, as I've not seen that play out at other companies. I have loved the opportunity to work here and find that it's a fantastic place to continually advance my career, skillset, and personal growth.

Cons

As with any tech company, things move fast. That can be a con for some people, but I find that it is a great motivator for impact. If you do not like a company that moves fast, you might not be interested in working here.

Pros

I’ve been at The Knot Worldwide for a few years now and have seen a lot of evolution in the business. What stands out most recently is the momentum we’re building. The product updates for our vendors have been a big step in the right direction. It feels like we’re getting closer to delivering what both vendors and couples actually need, which makes it a much easier and more meaningful story to sell. It’s also just a great industry to be in. You’re working with people during one of the most important moments in their lives, which adds a different level of purpose to the day to day. Cross-functional collaboration is a real strength here. Sales, Product, Marketing, and Vendor Marketing, etc are working more closely than I’ve seen in the past, and it’s making a difference in how quickly we can move and improve. The sales team’s work ethic is through the roof. There’s a strong culture of accountability and ownership, and people show up every day ready to perform and support each other. Leadership has taken a noticeable step forward. Since Raina stepped in, there’s been a shift toward asking tougher questions and being more honest about what needs to change. That transparency and willingness to evolve has been important. There’s still a lot of runway ahead. With the right focus, the opportunity here is big.

Cons

Like any evolving company, there are still areas being worked through, but directionally it feels like we’re heading the right way
