Shiny on the Outside, Toxic on the Inside
Pros
The product exists and has some market recognition. That’s it.
Cons
The recruitment process is extremely misleading. Managers make it sound like reps are hitting targets effortlessly and excelling from the start, but in reality, none of that support or success exists. The vast majority of reps fail to hit targets, and turnover is extremely high, but leadership frames it as individual failure rather than impossible expectations. Any attempt to provide honest feedback is treated as negativity or “resistance,” creating a culture where people keep their heads down instead of speaking up. Pressure is relentless, micro-management is constant, playbooks are rigid, and success feels more about surviving the system than actually selling. Toxic behaviour is normalised. public praise is dished out for appearances, while blame is quietly shifted onto those who can’t keep up. Promises made during hiring about career development, mentorship, and a happy/enjoyable work place are simply lies.
