Great Company if you work hard

Pros

Zumba and yoga at the office, pet-friendly, 16 weeks maternity leave, nerf wars, friendly coworkers, management that is caring, good benefits, free snacks and drinks. It really is a great place to go and everyone who works there is committed to making our site great. Fun events for the family.

Cons

Work-life balance can be difficult if you are full time. You have to be really good at managing your time. The time-tracking software used in the Ohio office is not great, and you are strongly encouraged to be always working on moderation or a given task. Don't expect to coast. Currently 10 minutes of paid breaks per 4 hours worked.

Thank you for writing a thoughtful and balanced review. Our Ohio office, like our other sites, is great because of the amazing team members we have there. Even as we grow, we still want to maintain a strong culture, and we believe team events and a focus on caring for employees is the way to do it. We hear you that the time tracking sw needs help, and we are working on it. (I'm sorry its taking longer than expected to make it less cumbersome.) And, you are correct that we do work really hard - so thank you for your dedication to doing your best. I hope you feel free to use flexible hours and breaks to balance the needs of your personal life. We do want to make sure you have the time to handle personal issues like childcare, doctor appointments, etc. As with all hourly employees, we do offer paid breaks, but you can also take unpaid breaks at any time. Also, ask your manager about how to log work email in your time sheet…this is definitely a paid part of your work. I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding. But, we are glad to have the opportunity to set it straight. Keep up the good work! And thank you for all you do.

Pros

-Beautiful headquarters on the water in Sausalito which includes free parking and free lunch! -Glassdoor is growing like crazy and it is very exciting to hit new milestones every quarter -The sales org has well defined career paths, aggressive but attainable quotas, uncapped commission, fun co-workers, and a supportive management team -Clients are very engaged at the Enterprise level. It is fun to work with big brands and make an impact on their business. -Our CEO was the main reason I came to Glassdoor. He is brilliant, approachable, and people would follow him anywhere -I adore my colleagues -Unlimited PTO! I have really taken advantage of that over the past few years :)

Cons

-Sausalito could be considered a downside since it is not in the city, which also makes happy hour a little challenging (I actually like the counter-commute from the city) -Normal growing pains, such as territory re-alignments, new processes, and not knowing everyone by name anymore -First 6 months for new sales rep can be a little daunting since there is a big learning curve

Pros

Healthy/ productive environment for everyone. Great pay and the people are wonderful. If you're one to prove yourself, there is great opportunities for advancement with the company.

Cons

Hard work is definitely necessary because the company is in a state of growth. It's hard to keep up at times, the demand is so high.
