Pros

Good people, environment and co-workers for the most part despite a few bad apples.

Cons

The game they play hiring new sales people is not appreciated. I was told by everyone in the company I was doing fantastic, I was making WELL over 5 figures in sales WEEKLY let alone monthly. They extended my salary gurentee of 60k for 3 more months due to my sucess before switching me to full commission. The commission rates are very low, you have to be billing basically a million dollars to live off of it comfortably. (IMPOSSIBLE in the first 3 months). Yet even with leadership loving me and telling me how good I was, the company was unwilling to extend my fruition and keep me on board with a salary, given I had brought it probably $300,000 at this point to the company in a short 5 months. (Crushing other new sales people). They said, this is how it works, doesn't matter how good you are. It's sad because I was doing great and providing a lot for the company; yet the company in the end decided to follow poorly placed corprate policies instead of taking care of their sucessful employees on an individual level. They were SHOCKED when I quit, as well as the other sales person who went down the same route, same time as me. I put off writing this, as I did really appreciate the direct leadership I worked with. However, I think the C level really needs to look into this. It's sad to say, but the system they use here is clearly created to bring in new people, push them to the max for 6 months and then get them to quit by not giving them a salary (so they don't have to pay unemployment on their REALLY high turnover rate) and then offload all the clients they brought on to their tenures sales staff. It's honestly a slimey was to business and the main reason I no longer reccomend the company to anyone, wether for advertising, or employment.

Pros

- Great colleagues, great leadership, great senior leadership - Flexibility, respect, integrity are just some of the words I'd use to convey my past two years working with the company -This company sincerely invests in each employees growth and well being

Cons

- Depending on your role, the path for growth can be long if you're not directly interested in a sales role, but I will say the wait for me was worth it. I gained so much experience and I have personally witnessed the majority of promotions come from within the company, which I love so much. - I also think they could have a little more wiggle room for compensation for the support and non sales roles.
