Pros

- offers plenty of growth opportunities. Personal - growth into larger roles with more responsibilities, direct communication with executive team, exposure to all departments, autonomy to develop and execute ideas, and implement into standard process, and management/leadership. Company - growth of our medical team, multiple sites in the next 12 months, integrations and partnerships with other healthcare leaders - challenged on a daily basis to learn new sectors of the start up world, healthcare, and tech industry - start up culture - mission oriented, driven, collaborative effort across the entire company, 360 feedback between peers and managers

Cons

Challenge: scaling without compromising quality

Pros

Awesome coworkers and working in healthcare was eye opening. Signing up someone who didn't have insurance always felt rewarding. Staff meeting once a week (dinner included). Mission driven people are contagious.

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling lead to zero work life balance. (working 10am-8pm 5 days a week. Including weekends). Hardly any communication with management (makes you feel irrelevant and that they don't care about you) You are working in a mall with zero inbound leads. You basically heckling people to come in. Comp plan was always changing and achieving OTE was near impossible. Tech stack was pathetic. Management won't invest in their salespeople what so ever. I applied to be an SDR and when they gave me the offer they changed the title to MSA. They title the position as "sales executive, SDR, BDR, advisor, etc." to draw in as many people but switch everything up once you get the offer. (red flags from the start) Management prays on young college grads with little to no sales experience and pressure them into signing the offer within 24 hours and hope they don't check glassdoor. I have no clue how this company is profitable off of just memberships...

Pros

the people you work with day to day are wonderful

Cons

I cannot imagine a more toxic work environment. I would recommend working here if: - you want Slack to be the first thing you check when you wake up and the last thing you check before going to bed because god forbid you miss an 8:30 pm thread - you want to be gaslit into thinking you're selfish for wanting a raise, even though leadership has acknowledged that you're making below market rate - you want extra work thrown on your plate monthly but would never think about wanting a promotion because who even cares about a title? - you want to be put under a manager who is incapable of giving tactical advice and when you bring up concerns to a lead they tell you to "rely less on your manager" - you want a strict 5 day a week in person office policy - you hate having personal time Thursday evenings and would rather sit at a staff meeting from 6-7 pm Bonus: its a health tech company and they don't even cover all of your health insurance... red flag
