Pros

Working at Grow is one of the best decisions I've made. Great, great company culture and opportunity. Like anything, it took a little time to get into the groove and sell like I wanted to, but after 6 months I was hitting big numbers and loving life. Everyone is supportive, friendly, and encouraging. There is positive focus on improving an already great sales team and providing as much training as possible. Its definitely a startup world and that comes with the relaxed work environment you'd expect. While we still don't have work from home days the management is flexible with working hours and days off if you're getting your work done. Selling the product is much easier than other products I've sold. The value of the product is very clear, translating into a shorter sales process. We have a client success team that then manages the relationship with the client so you can focus on new sales. Its very realistic to hit your numbers consistently and make great commissions.

Cons

Its a startup, there are constant changes. Some of these are great, some of them are experiments that fail. Some of those experiments don't seem to make much sense, but changes happen frequently so you never have to deal with it for too long. Base pay isn't fantastic but the potential for big commissions more than makes up for that.

A terrible culture, led by the top

Pros

If you want a simple 9-5, here it is. You could work here for a while and work on side projects/businesses.

Cons

1. If you're outside the circle of friends running this place, they have very short-term memories when it comes to your accomplishments. I've heard them say awful things about their employees when they think they're out of earshot of others (mainly the VPs on the revenue side of the business). 2. Everything is "form over function". Examples: - the product looks pretty, but is completely bug-ridden and crashes constantly - most of the integrations the sales team sells customers on are not functional - the support team has to build everything for new clients because the interface is awful - "seen at work" is more important than "got work done". literally been told this by a manager 3. Leadership is stingy with equity (in the best case scenario of a $1B Grow IPO, 1000 shares would be worth ~$10,000 given current number of outstanding shares. That's unrealistic and several years away at best). 4. Also stingy with perks (e.g. "stocked kitchen" runs dry by Thursday) 5. And is not very competitive on pay and benefits. 6. Too much LDS church influence (occasionally prayers and "spiritual thoughts" happen in company meetings!!) 7. No women in leadership (or really any diversity). 8. Multiple cases of true nepotism (multiple cases of upper management with relatives working under them).

Pros

The culture cultivated at Grow is very relaxed yet energetic. They have strived to create an environment that promotes a desire to work, keeping the daily grind fresh and non-draining . I honestly enjoy every day of work here. There's also the obvious bonuses like free snacks and drinks, unlimited PTO and the game room. But these are all just extra's in a company that is rapidly growing (pun not intended) with some of the best people to work with and great career opportunities. The CEO, Rob, is great to work with. He makes an effort to always know everyones names (which is impressive with how many new names seem to come on every week) and to always leads the company culture with his example. I'd say this is the best SaaS company you could hope to work for short of Google.

Cons

Growing pains. Management has done a fantastic job at rolling with the punches that come with large and swift growth. Nevertheless there were some growing pains (as to be expected) that put some strain on the employee's for a short time. This has since been dealt with in a well structured and scalable fashion. I can't think of any other sort of con mention.
