Supportive Culture, Great Leadership, and a Collaborative Team Environment

Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working here! The company culture is genuinely supportive with a strong focus on teamwork and collaboration. Management is highly approachable and encourages growth, making it clear that they’re invested in our success. The team environment is fantastic, and it’s clear that everyone works together to achieve common goals. Overall, it’s a rewarding place to work where you feel valued and motivated every day.

Cons

One area for improvement is in the FTA bonus structure, especially regarding employee count. I primarily work with businesses in the 31-99 employee range, and the bonus reflects that. However, if I engage an account that turns out to have over 100 employees upon qualifying them for an appointment, I’m still compensated as though I scheduled a 31-99 business. Ideally, the bonus structure would acknowledge this and adjust accordingly, Additionally, the minimum benchmark of 25 scheduled appointments to qualify for a bonus feels a bit steep, and I’ve noticed that it’s a mark a handful manage to hit.
