Beware of marketing roles

Marketing manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid coworker pool. Pay is at the top end of any industry. The people are what make this place great. Fantastic benefits package: unlimited PTO, good insurance. flexible hours when needed.

Cons

Beware of new marketing leadership and those above them allowing the exodus of great talent. I watched the new CMO single handedly run so much in to the ground since she got here. Firing people who speak out against her (or tell her the truth in many cases) and forcing some of the top talent out based on lies. Its disgusting.

Great company, poor leadership

Account manager
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The product is by for superior to its competitors. If you’re looking for a web hosting that provides you features to succeed, WP Engine can provide that service. It’s specific to Anish of clients where selling is very specific and there is no limit to how many people you can work with. Although a very difficult job, with the correct training, success is not unattainable.

Cons

Poor leadership from the mid to upper management levels. This company is an example that the best sales representatives do not make the best managers. Seems like they are trying to duplicate the way they sell however that strategy doesn’t work with the current market along with every sales rep. Coders are way high and although bonuses are nice, they are rarely hit.

Did not allow room for growth, ended up leaving the company.

Pros

I had a great manager and support from my team. I learned a lot about hosting and Wordpress.

Cons

I was a consistent top performer and was even gifted a trip because of my results. However, when it came to advancing my career, I often felt held back. I was passed over for promotion multiple times, and notably, three out of four individuals promoted instead ended up on performance plans and eventually left the company. Beyond the trip I earned, it often felt as though my contributions weren’t fully valued and there was little focus on developing talent for the next level. I hope that with new leadership, this approach will begin to change.
