Eh... Not so much.

Pros

The culture is cool. People are young. If you KNOW you want to do sales, then go for it. If not then avoid.

Cons

They hire and fire like crazy so they will do anything to get you to join. They take advantage of young kids straight out of college who are not fit to be sale people and dangle snacks and a ping-pong table in front of them to get them to sign on. A few months later, about 4 or 5, when the kid who said he didn't want to do sales in the first place, isn't performing, they fire them. It's a business I get it. But there is a reason they only hire people who are super young. They also play favorites if you are in the 'click.' I also experienced first hand the upper management being very inappropriate with staff. The guy I interviewed was also one of the rudest people I have ever met. I got the offer and then turned it down on this account, but then they waved money (signing bonus) in my face to act like nothing ever happened. My own fault, but they need to address that person/problem.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Great guidance on Sales roles, you are right - it is not a career for everyone. We have found that some of our most successful hires are recent college graduates, but as you likely know our goal is to hire the very best talent at all levels of our organization. We sincerely regret to hear that your experience with WeddingWire didn’t meet the standards that we strive to achieve for our employees. We are always looking to learn and grow and your feedback is welcomed.

Pros

Great benefits, WFH opportunities, unlimited PTO, catered lunch, cool office space, young culture

Cons

-They have great benefits that bring in low-paying employees who work extremely hard who at first love the benefits, only to realize they cant actually move up. It's a never ending cycle of low-paying employees leaving and the lazy upper-management staying there. -Takes FOREVER to get a promotion especially in the marketing department, can take up to 8 months or more from your initial ask -Will give you vague and unclear goals you must meet to get promoted, and may not promote you even if you do meet them -Upper management moves around in their roles and responsibilities so much it's hard to know who does what and what they actually DO. -They make promises about the company and your role they can't keep -Form cliques and give promotions to their favorite employees unfairly. A "favorite" might not have to work as hard to get promoted as someone who isn't favored by upper management -Decisions are constantly questioned, I constantly felt like my ideas weren't valued or cared about. They would act like they liked my ideas but then make an excuse for why they didn't execute them -Keep incapable people around because of close relationships to exec not because they actually know what they're doing - if you want to work in marketing, beware because the only thing they will want to know is how you make money for sales - not branding -everything the company does is to make money, they don't care as much about branding / social / content / marketing and it's very obvious early on -lots of money spent on unnecessary things instead of salary for employees -not a great place to grow your career -managers don't have employees best interests at heart, only want to please sales -overall if you want to get ahead you won't be able to unless you play into their political game and become best friends with management
