Pros
I’m proud to work at Flock Safety because everyday feels like I'm making a difference for the better in my community. I get to work alongside police departments and really be a part of something greater than just a commission goal. Growing up as a minority with immigrant parents gave me a certain perspective when it came to the police. Working at Flock Safety has really changed my perspective in the police, I get to work alongside police officers who are sacrificing their life and time with their families to make our communities safer. Culture is conducive to creating friendships with your peers and mentors, everyone is rooting for you and the more you work with your peers the better the outcome. You have a BIG internal team and it's amazing to be able to work alongside them because we all have one common goal: To Solve Crime. Our CEO is heavily involved with culture, I had a group meeting last year with our CEO to speak about culture, in my 9 years in sales I've never had a meeting with the CEO about company culture! Our commission goals at Flock Safety are very attainable and Flock Safety gives you everything you need. I love that it is remote first because I'm able to meet with multiple clients a day versus driving for hours to only meet with 1-2 clients. More meetings per day = More sales closed per day= More $$ in my pocket! Our commission at Flock Safety is pretty competitive, 10% for every dollar sold. We also have a quarterly bonus at the end of every quarter.
Cons
Change is often constant in any startup. From heading in an entirely different direction on a project to switching up the roles of employees with little notice, the titles, responsibilities and roles of startup employees are regularly changing. While we grow here at Flock Safety, there are things that are evolving (Benefits, Spiff, Billing, formalizing procedures, updating technology) that come along with any startup. If you don't like rapid change and the lack of structure that startups can take I would not consider working for a startup.
