Pros

The company has some good things going for them and they are putting the effort in to stay ahead of the trends. You have the ability to make good money.

Cons

Talk about hating to wake up everyday to go to work!! I knew from my first day of employment this was going to be a horrible experience. Here are a few things that I didn't like about the position / company. - Managers might say they don't micro manage but your time and tasks are 100% micro managed. - If you get excited about receiving emails this is the place for you, your manager will send one out every 5 minutes. (It will include a creepy wink eye and of course every email is marked as urgent) - You are assigned a territory of current customers to call on to grow the account, well you end up calling all these customers 1-2 times a week. - High pressure sales tactics. - Wait until you find out the unique "algorithm" the manager uses to determine average, it's mind blowing!!

Pros

efficient product, good benefits, if you one of the few placed in a good territory there is decent earning potential. There are some very smart sales engineers that you can learn from and some good spirited folks that still remain.

Cons

If you scroll through the reviews that aren't canned responses from current employees you'll get the picture. Management, starting from the very top as been abysmal. If you are going to have folks write reviews at least make them realistic. For someone to come on here and give this company 4 stars is a slap in the face to my intellect. FUNNY how the first reviews that pop up at the top of the page and are considered "popular" are all the positive ones. Yet they have 1-3 helpful marks. I've also seen some of the most accurate reviews removed. This company takes no accountability. As stated in other reviews, they made several department shake ups, put most of the sales force in a no win situation, then fired them. Yet the people that made those decisions at the top, are still there. It all starts with Insight, the investment company that bought Unitrends. They don't care about you as a person, they'll throw you overboard in the middle of the ocean and pop a hole in your life raft. There are a few talented and intelligent managers but they're like diamonds in the rough. I left a solid company where I was making over 100K to join Unitrends. However, the company that I was sold on was not the company I worked for.

Thank you for sharing your opinions. I am sorry that you believe that positive reviews are canned reviews. I can tell you that i know of no canned reviews here at Unitrends. It may be hard to take from your opinion that someone might enjoy working here but that don't mean that your intellect has been insulted. Their opinions have as much right to be on Glassdoor as your negative review does. Insight Venture Partners made a significant investment in Unitrends with both time and money. They continue to invest their subject matter expertise. They are committed to helping us become wildly successful.They are a very successful Private Equity firm that is about growth - not financial engineering. Their success speaks for itself. They understand that Unitrends is about its people and they are committed to investing in them. I am sorry that your experience was not a good one. I would appreciate having the chance to speak with you if you care to and better understand what we could have done to make this a better experience for you. Thank ... Kevin
