Pros

Some of the best people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Those same talented coworkers along with myself were bamboozled into working for a company that has a “vision” but no plan of action. Training was non-existent. Goals were unclear. CEO and Senior Execs speak of culture and community, but in reality would sell an employee down the river to save a buck. Sure, the catered lunches and happy hours seem like a sweet deal, but they’ll pay those bills before they’ll pay a commission check. Thank you, next.

Pros

Great benefits, they over paid to get folks to work for them. Some people were paid double the going rate.

Cons

Forget about being paid commissions! They pay when the customer pays but they are so terrible at operations they never billed millions of dollars! People left good jobs to work for them and they give 0 notice of lay off and 30 days severance. Oh and they also made everyone sign something promising not to talk negatively about the company publicly or they’d pull your severance and cancel your stock options. What a joke and waste of time!
