Happy to be here :)
Pros
Throughout my 2 years at Reputation, I have truly never been happier at a company. Whether it's the day-to-day job, the people here, or simply the product itself, I'm beyond grateful to have found this opportunity. If you are a person willing to actually put the work in, show up each day with motivation, grit, and the willingness to learn from others, the leadership team will do everything they can to help you grow in your career. We are consistently given a wide variety of incentives based on performance (team events/outings, leaving early when we hit our goals, giftcards, etc.) and the managers always ready to celebrate our wins accordingly.
Cons
With the current state of the economy, it's only natural that businesses (especially those within the tech industry) find ways to do more with less. Unfortunately, during these uncertain times you can't be attached to a timeline in which you will see upward career growth and those decisions are not always up to the business, but rather dictated by the state of the economy. These situations tend to put leadership in the "hot seat", however, given these difficult times of lay-offs and budget cuts, I feel our leadership team has handled these business decisions in the best possible manner. It's never an easy decision, but at the end of the day, we have to remember this is a business. My advice to anyone looking to join a sales team (especially an SDR role), is that you must be adaptable, willing to collaborate and learn from others, and most importantly - willing to have tough conversations with your leaders about your goals and what truly motivates you. In this role you need to be patient with growth, (but know there IS a light at the end of the tunnel) and leave your feelings of entitlement at home. Just keep in mind....the grass is not always greener on the other side.
