Pros

My immediate team (excluding management)

Cons

High Client Churn & Outdated Product: The company is losing a lot of clients. The business is purely focused on making short-term money rather than building actual client relationships through proper account management. On top of that, with the industry rapidly adopting AI, the core platform offerings feel completely outdated. Competitors are doing ten times better, making it incredibly hard to retain accounts. Robotic Sales Approach: The sales pitches the team is forced to use are incredibly rigid and robotic. The scripts force you to ask clients the exact same questions multiple times, which makes the conversations feel unnatural and leaves the clients feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Intense Micromanagement: The micromanagement there is exhausting. Everything is looked at through a magnifying glass, to the point where you can’t even send a standard email without being told it’s wrong. There is zero autonomy, and this level of hyper-scrutiny completely slows down daily work. Constant Role Shifts, Low Pay & Flawed Commission: Job roles and responsibilities are changed and added to almost every single week without any clear direction. Employees are expected to do a massive amount of work for incredibly low base pay. To make matters worse, the commission structure feels intentionally designed so that you barely ever receive it, the incentives are entirely un-incentivising and moving goalposts make hitting targets nearly impossible. Management Instability: There is no long-term strategy for the business. Upper management structures seem to change constantly, making it impossible to keep up or maintain any real momentum. Unprofessional Offboarding Process: The culture surrounding employee departures is highly problematic. Upon giving notice, the micromanagement tends to intensify and the environment becomes hostile. There are also significant delays and hurdles regarding final payroll, getting earned commissions paid out, and receiving standard departure documentation on time.

Pros

Everyone here is incredibly friendly and willing to help one another. Great place to build relationships and have not experienced a better work/life balance at any previous employer. They encourage and support constant personal and professional growth.

Cons

Some of the support team and finance functions are based in the U.K. so the time difference can be frustrating at times.
