Pros

They like to have fun and pretend everything is okay.

Cons

Where to begin... Low pay.... HIGH turnover would be an understatement....They say you can work remote or from home, but that is far from true and only applies to certain people...Favoritism here is ridiculous. Cherry picking from managers and leadership, leads that do come to the sales reps are more often than not bad leads.They are afraid to fire people that need to be let go, although that has begun to change a little bit. The sales team needs to be cut down to a max of 5-10 people total. Play hard, work not at all.... Ping pong and xbox are a terrible idea when you are down in sales for the quarter/year.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute a review. We’re sad to hear that your experience hasn’t been a great one and would love to help change your opinion of our company if we can so I’d encourage you to speak to a manager to share your concerns. We absolutely make every effort to decrease turnover, while turnover can sometimes be unavoidable we’re proud of the fact that the average tenure of the workforce at iDashboards is currently 3.2 years. Plus, more than 80% of our management team has been promoted from within after growing their careers within the organization. Also, to address your concern on lead distribution, it should be pointed out that while in the past there may have been issues with former managers selling into the same territories as their reps, there are now zero overlapping sales territories in the organization.

Pros

I worked two different roles at iDashboards, and always knew what was expected of me. Management was respectful and thoughtful. It was a positive experience.

Cons

Defining an overall direction of the company was tough while I was there, but that has since been solved.

Pros

The company truly cares about work/life balance. Very flexible on WFH, employees going back to school, needing to pick up kids from daycare early, etc. A great place to learn about the industry. Everyone is helpful and wants to see you succeed. The technical teams are outstanding. Low turnover, smart people, clients love them. Many changes over the years but they have been in the best interest of the company. Just roll with them. Great people work here. It is never a drag to go into the office. HR plans a lot of fun team building activities, lunches, holiday celebrations that everyone enjoys.

Cons

Low base pay on the sales team causes high turnover. This could be fixed with a higher base or better commission structure. There were was a group of negative people there at one time (most are gone - and honestly they are the type that aren't happy at any job). If you work hard and ignore it you will be fine. Development NEEDS a change. The product lacks innovation and is not keeping up with competition. One person should not be allowed to say and do whatever they feel like without any checks/balances. CEO is a great person who cares about his employees but unfortunately seems to be more reactive than proactive when it comes to product enhancements.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We appreciate the feedback and would like to take the time to respond to a few points in particular: Pay: iDashboards offers employees generous/marketable compensation packages. We are continuously reviewing our comp packages to confirm they are competitive and fair. Development: We have a lot of excitement surrounding our software development - with the upcoming release of 9.5 and the addition of personnel resources on the development team.
