Pros

I just want to say I actually really like working here. Product is good, pay is very competitive, and I like the people I sit next to all day. Plus my manager is a nice guy too--obviously there are a huge amount of not-so-positive reviews on here so I wanted to speak up as a normal person who is (I think) a typical employee who is having a very positive experience working here

Cons

My commute is hellish, but that's kind of on me because i chose to move far away. Also communication between departments could be significantly clearer. There has also been a ton of change this year, but none of it has really affected me too significantly and I'm not alone in that category so I'm good.

Pros

Free Snacks and coffee. The commission plan is on the higher side of the industry.

Cons

The management team will control every deal that you are working on, selling hard through the sales cycle. I got roughly 5-6 emails from management per day that were only distracting and not helpful. The managers are some of the most distrusting individuals I have met and will suck every last deal out of you and then kick you out the door.

Pros

If you are confident in your sales skills, you will make money here. This technology is absolutely crushing the competition. Our leadership on the technical side in both R&D and support are the best in class. The companies that they we've acquired have been future focused. As a team, we've seen a few acquisitions happen that left us curious and then months later, when the technology is brought to the sales floor to sell, it has been amazing. As with any sales job the harder you work the more money you will make. If you've ever worked at a company that had poor performance or a product that is difficult to sell, you will really appreciate working here. There is a need in the market for what we sell. The technology almost sells itself. The end users that we sell it to have a need, they typically have budget or are willing to find budget to fix their pain. Obviously, we don't have everything that everyone wants, but we usually meet 99% of a customers requirement. Most of the competition that we compete with, can't do it all or just focus on a small segment of what we do. The hardest part of this job is narrowing a customers wants vs. budget. Our channel program here is exceptional. Being a 100% channel focused company is an excellent thing to share with my partner community. If you know how to share money with partners or have ever worked in a channel position, you will see very quickly that our company believes that the channel is the most important thing. We have some very bright negotiators in management that will help you close deals if you raise your hand and ask. They encourage and give you ideas to help you grow your business. If you challenge the status quo and are willing to present why something should be done, they usually will do it for you to help you make a dollar. Overall, this is the best company I've ever worked for and see nothing but greatness in it's future.

Cons

If you are not used to change, this company is not for you. The company makes decisions quickly and often, if you do not like change or do not know how to handle change, you will learn to handle change while you are here. It is hard to find a path to the field if you really want to be there. I don't think this will be an issue a year or so from now.

Thank you for recognizing all the great aspects of working at Unitrends! We are in total agreement about the need to be comfortable with change, since that is a key part of our business model. If we don't innovate, our competitors will and that means we will re evaluate and revise our strategy on an ongoing basis. Love the idea about more competition on the sales floor. Hope you like the new layout and our plans to build out a cool recreation space on the other side of the building.
