Pros

Like most bad reviews people will start with talking about how good the people are. And it's true. The team I worked directly with was pretty great. The Director of Sales is one of the most comparing and compassionate people I've had the pleasure of working with. The ability to travel (during normal times) is also a great benefit. You get to meet a lot of people. The freedom to try different things on your market is also nice. It allows a lot of personal creativity and innovation if you're willing to step outside of the status quo. I'll also give it to a lot of the team that they are actively trying to foster a better culture. I don't know if it ever quite got there but the effort and things they tried were appreciated and added a nice change of pace.

Cons

It's hard to write everything as honestly as you want because you don't want people to ignore the review. I cannot urge you enough to reconsider any consideration of employment at this company. All of the complaints focus around organization and money. Money - grossly misquoted OTE (if it's close to 6 figures they're lying - their online postings were usually a joke between the employees because of this) - Commission's are done off Excel spreadsheet - very few paycheques were correct (sometimes off by thousands) - speaking with a few other employees who have left they don't seem to be fair with paying outstanding amounts when leaving Organization - there was no HR department (although there is someone there now who seems great) - the internal procedures don't make any sense and cause tons of mistakes (specifically their accounting processes) - there is no consistency with their processes in general. Sort of like the wild west Again, I cannot stress enough that if you are a sales person this is not the role for you.

Pros

None to list to date

Cons

Data leaked all employees information to hackers. Toxic environment to the tune that even the hr person they hired to help combat quit. Took employee suggestions as complaints and found ways to fire those people. The CEO is actually run by the prior CEO and it shows- don’t wake here. You can always find somewhere that’s willing to respect you and treat you better- this isn’t the place.

Pros

There is no pro with this company

Cons

HR is a sham, the person is on their way out but never actually was checked in. Management makes a-lot of promises but doesn't live up to any of them, at one point they dangled going public in front of everyone, but then that was cancelled. Data breaches with our private information to say the least. This company does not care about its employees, they will strategically make you think you are part of the team, but once they get what they need out of you then will move on. Don't waste your talent here.
