Hello Knowster. We are happy to hear you are happy working with your colleagues, your job responsibilities, and the learning opportunities we provide. We have worked on improving our compensation plans and commission structures. We have employee development specialists and a dedicated training team who are great resources for developing professionally at KnowBe4. We are also confused by your first con as all our sales positions aside from interns are full-time positions.

Pros

Pros Include: Remote work, & free lunch during training. Also, the guarunteed Pay the first couple months in Training of $100K.

Cons

So many Cons: Base pay is low at $40K. They will overpay you and expect you to owe back money. Micromanagement is a huge one. They will micromanage you to death on Call Stats & Email stats. Every single thing you do on the clock is monitoried and recorded. The Unlimited PTO is very limited with lots of rules around it. They are unconcerned if you have life events (sick children, time off to enroll your kid in school). I once had a manager call me 6X in one day to micromanage me. I only lasted 9 months, and left as soon as I could. My advice for anyone interviewing at Knowbe4? RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

Hello. Unless there was a significant payroll error, there is no scenario where we would ask a Knowster for money back from their pay. Our sales calls are recorded to make sure our customers are getting the best service possible, as most companies do. We don’t have unlimited PTO, but we do have an open PTO policy where it is up to manager's discretion if your PTO is approved. It’s still expected that you give ample notice for PTO to be approved. There is no situation where a manager would disapprove of PTO for an employee to handle a sick child. We know these things come up and are uncontrollable. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors.
