Pros

You learn how to be a sales professional while having fun. The ability to make 6 figures. There is never a dull moment and they give you lots of benefits and spiffs.

Cons

Too many politics, promoting is not merit based and favoritism is a part of the job in some aspects. The company has a lot of links to work out and hopefully soon. Management should be trained before appointed to management. Your success can be determined by your manager and/or your region which are both out of your control.

Thank you for the review. We are glad to hear you find both the culture and financial opportunity as positive aspects of our business. Regarding career pathing and promotions, our approach is focused as much on performance and skill set as it is exhibition of our company values. I am curious to hear more about your experience; specifically pertaining to promotions not being merit based and suggestions you have regarding the continued development of our leadership team. Please feel free to pull me aside on the sales floor or schedule some time to discuss your feedback. Thanks again for your review. Steve Capezza – Senior Director, Orange County Sales

Pros

Generally the people I work with are great. They are supportive, creative, and work well as a team. Work-life balance is good, although some teams have more on-call than others.

Cons

- Senior leadership has determined that inflation need not be a factor when calculating raises. - Also, we're having record profitability! But also money is very tight and we all need to tighten our belts. - Our stock is down 50% this year, but you all need to suck it up, even though stock is a huge part of pay. - We don't care that you are getting a 30% effective pay cut this year. - Performance ratings are calculated on vibes before reviews are actually written. - We've started outsourcing heavily to Mexico and India. - "We need to raise the bar" ("Please work harder for the same pay") - Health benefits have eroded for several years. - Other benefits have never been adjusted for inflation. - AI is becoming like a cult. We've actually been told that the dream is to never open a code editor again, despite the technology not being remotely ready for that (and with no proof that it is less expensive or saves time).
