Pros

Somewhat decent base and work hours.

Cons

Managers full of promises about comp, never to come true. Revolving door job due to poor / dishonest direct manager. Managers clueless about their own product set so you are own your own to find the resources you need to come on-board and excel. Requests to direct manager for tools / advice needed to complete your on-boarding go unanswered. There is a reason why they constantly have openings of the same job over and over again. Hiring manager did nothing short of lie to get you in the door.

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
