Pros

I honestly can’t think of one thing

Cons

Lied during recruiting about territory, attainment, and succession opportunities. Partners hate us, deal reg doesn’t exist minus 3 or 4 states. Quota is the same for everyone no matter the size of the patch or opportunity. Territory was chopped multiple times. Quota was way higher than what was communicated. No email or call delivery due to spamming customers. Managers calling your customers behind your back. Micro management in every part of the business. Sales leaders who should be selling used cars at a “Buy here Pay here” lot. Stressful environment where they fire folks who are at full ramp quota(660k per quarter) so the manager can bring in a new rep who has a ramping quota of (80k) in hopes of the business the previous rep sold closing for the new rep to show 400% attainment. Hate that I gave them a year of my sales career. Don’t believe their lies. The OTE is not real.

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
