Pros

Amazing Product, great culture, great people. I have been at iDashboards for 8 years and have seen the growth and development and witnessed personally the ups and (very few) downs. I have been selling software for 18 years and by far this is the greatest product I have ever sold. Customers love it and it really does change the way they make decisions which ultimately streamlines their business. Having a product that does this gives a salesperson the added confidence that is extremely helpful. The owner of iDashboards has gone out of his way to create a working culture that is hard working but also fun and this has been appreciated. The support teams pre-sales, on-site consultants and technical support are the best that I have ever worked with. Amazing people who help drive sales. If you are a seasoned sales person you have a great chance at success and it you are just getting into software sales you can learn a lot and be very successful too ($$$$).

Cons

Some of the cons would start with a few years ago iDashboards might have been too ambitious in hiring sales people. Hiring more bodies doesn't not always result in more business. Selling software is selling an idea and then putting a price on the value of this idea. It is very difficult and unfortunately iDashboards suffered many sales people leaving unfulfilled and dissatisfied. They have recognized this and have been more selective (in my opinion) in hiring sales people in the last year. Less sales people results in more to go around for the ones that have proven their value. Also having two teams selling different version of iDashboards was an issue and thankfully they combined this and know let all sales people sell everything, but before they changed this it hurt the process of selling (in my opinion).

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.

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.
