Zero Career Growth: Despite hitting or exceeding quota consistently year-over-year, there were no clear pathways for promotion or advancement. “No cap on commission” was repeatedly promised but quietly undermined—quotas were raised arbitrarily and accelerator percentages were slashed without notice.
Not a Meritocracy: Performance doesn’t matter. Promotions were political and based on favoritism, not results. Sales reps who hit targets were pushed harder without meaningful reward.
Deep Ethical Concerns: Senior leadership openly instructed reps to input fake pipeline numbers for their top accounts—essentially cooking the books to look better to private equity investors. This wasn't a misunderstanding; it was a deliberate, top-down directive.
Toxic Culture & Racism: I experienced racist remarks from colleagues that were brushed off by management when reported. There is little to no accountability for behavior that violates basic standards of respect.
Private Equity Destruction: Since the PE acquisition, the soul of the company has been gutted. Decisions are made solely for investor optics—not for the long-term health of the business or wellbeing of the employees. Morale tanked and turnover skyrocketed.
