Pros

Innovative product, seems to be solving customer pains

Cons

Worst sales culture I've ever been apart of. Expect to have zero work/life balance.. It seems like they try to hire people that don't have families so that you're expected to work insane hours and constantly travel for needless off-sites. I think I saw in an internal system that under 30% of the sales team have kids. Would highly highly recommend to look into alternatives

Great pay/benefits, Incredibly high turnover

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and healthcare. Decent salary for an SDR position

Cons

Not much support from management. You either hit numbers or you don’t. They routinely fire 25% of sales department every quarter. There is also no history of any SDR ever being promoted
