Pros

Thorough trainings, fun work environment, positive culture, open office environment, great company to get sales industry experience and technical knowledge of sales practices and IT products

Cons

The things that made it a fun place to work are slowly being taken away one by one. The trainings are fewer, the catered breakfasts are a thing of the past, the events designed for partner interaction have been moved to outside of work hours and have become optional. There used to be more small things that kept people complacent in a high stress job. There is a large lack of communication between departments on both small and large issues and changes. People are hired on to believe one thing and eventually find out that it was misinformation, not necessarily meant to be because of the interviewers misrepresenting the job, but more out of lack of knowledge. It takes at least a year to start making money, which is not necessarily a con, just more of a caveat. Building new business for the company if you are an account manager involves a lot of gold calling, and the lists of companies you are given are not necessarily vetted. A lot of success lies in waiting it out at least a year until other people quit or change positions and you inherit their book of business. There are lots of promises made that are never kept. Timelines aren't stuck to, some things never happen, and there is a lot of upset in the office when changes aren't made when they said they would be.

Pros

The culture here is fast‑moving and expectations are high. That can be challenging at times, but it also creates opportunities to learn, take ownership, and make a real impact. Success often comes to those who are adaptable, self‑driven, and comfortable with ambiguity.

Cons

Better communication would help drive the vision forward in a more cohesive way

If you need money it’s fine.

Everything else about the company and how management operates is inefficient and cliquey
