Pros

Great people, fun company events, good benefits

Cons

The AAE program is not fully explained to prospective employees. In addition to making 120+ cold calls a day, you are expected to pass weekly tests (one of which is about 2 hours long and requires you to memorize ~500 product facts verbatim). Useless EOD meetings M-TH where everyone is expected to speak up or they start quizzing you on camera facts, gets very repetitive. The pay is laughable and you are expected to be motivated by the reward of getting through the program to become an AE, except you can graduate the program and still not get an AE offer. Turnover for the program is extremely high.

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.
