Pros

Great, hard working employees. Exciting business model that is getting results. Good tools. Management that listens to its employees.

Cons

The parking/commuting situation isn't for everyone (its downtown). However, they are implementing a commuter benefit to allow us to use tax-free funds for the cost of public transit or parking.

Great company, bdr job not as glamorous

Pros

The people who work in this office are awesome! I loved the environment and positive attitude of mostly every one there. It is truly a great company and I miss working there daily. Upper management truly listens and makes you feel important. The ceo and cfo knew my name, and would talk to me every time I saw them. You won’t have that at most companies. No work place is perfect, and there are definitely things that need worked on, but for a young company they have tackled a lot of the issues most people complain about here. The BDR job is not glamorous by any means. It takes a lot of hard work and luck. The people that do well put in a lot of effort and it didn’t go unnoticed. The bdr job just wasn’t for me. If I would have started in another department, I would’ve stayed at Roadrunner for a long time.

Cons

No work life balance. Parking/commuting can get really expensive. All of the sales coaches had different rules/exceptions for their teams which made it unfair to a lot of the BDRS. Commission structure needs worked on

Pros

Dress code is relaxed. Ton of good people at this company. Coworkers make the day fun and exciting. Lunch spots and beautiful downtown location. Minimal micro managing.

Cons

This is telemarketing/appointment booking. Expect to make 70+ meaningful dials a day off of your own generated leads. Serious data entry can take out of your calls which leads to messages from management. Managers and directors walk around critiquing performance while they play with board games/puzzles. Turnover rate is terrible because the job description is not completely honest. They will offer sign on bonuses and refer all bonuses to get you in the door. Business Development Reps are expendable at any point in time but they never look at the “coaches” as a reason for why the sale reps numbers are low. Sales coaches have minimal to no actual management experience. They just happened to be in this position at the right time which produced good numbers for them, was easy for them to be promoted because the number of reps at the time was extremely low. No sick days. All time off is paid time off and if you go over a certain amount of days you get canned. Expect to make up for the day you took off. Not sure why it’s called time off if we are expected to reach the daily number even when we are off.
