      A difficult sales organization to succeed

      Mid market account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      WFH. Generally employees are kind.

      Cons

      Nearly impossible to hit quota consistently. If you have a customer churn it goes against your number. If you close a $50K deal and then get $50K of churn (even if a company goes bankrupt or ceases to exist) it nets out to $0. When you join they don’t give you your full OTE in your first couple months (only half of your variable comp guaranteed) this was a surprise to me when I joined.

      Not as Great as When I Started

      Customer success manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are great, non-linear work days.

      Cons

      Inconsistent management strategy. Silos in the sales org. Scaling as a company in response to growth has been shaky.
