Pros

-The product is really the best for barbershops

Cons

where do i start.... -You will work after hours, weekends, holidays, take no PTO and STILL not make ANY money -3 of 25 people hit quota. If you don't hit 60% quota, you make no commission. Only like 8 of 25 reps with even make a commission check. -Market is extremely difficult. Door to Door is easier than this -No growth. I felt like i was getting dumber the longer I was there. This place will not be helpful in future SaaS sales roles -management is horrible, constantly changing managers and territories and ROE and ZERO coaching. All they care about is working harder not smarter -when asked about process, they are very vague and don't give you answers. For example: 90% of rev is from inbound but is only going to 2 or 3 favorite reps. When you ask how the round robin works or where all these leads from champions go, they get upset and vague. Very suspicious. So essentially you have to self source your entire quota. (which no one can do, and why so many people leave) - They can't hire fast enough because so many people leave. -instead of developing reps, they focus on hiring new ones -horrible marketing strategy: they throw money away to dozens of instagram influencers that bring no revenue and if they do, management takes the deals for themselves or gives it under the table to favorite reps. All inbound leads are mistakes. Its people trying to get haircuts, not interested in Squire. This was an issue for the whole year + that I was there and no changes were made. -they fluff their numbers to the board to make them sound good. -they are extremely overvalued and strategy will fail long term. Stock in this company is completely worthless. (in addition: they offered stock in the offer and never gave me any) -the first thing they look for is "diversity" when hiring. Regardless of experience or skills... -in one of our first meetings we met with a "champion" and they ridiculed me in front of everyone simply on the way I look and eluded to me knowing nothing about the industry because I was the same race as him

Pros

Squire has been great to work for. I have great collaboration with my team and mentor, as well as regular meetings with my manager. The benefits at Squire are incredible and I have felt valued for the work and effort I have been putting in. It feels like my direct management and the management of the company as a whole truly care about Squire's mission and all their employees.

Cons

Squire's product is complex and multi-faceted, especially on an internal level. They are doing their best to improve internal training and ramping processes, but there has been cases where I haven't had all the information needed on a call or things that weren't covered in my training. (the management is aware of this and is actively working to improve the processes)

Pros

Real Career Growth: I've been at Squire for several years and have had the opportunity to grow and take on new challenges in different parts of the business. The company values internal talent and rewards those who step up. Strong, Values-Driven Culture: There's a deep sense of purpose here. People are passionate about the mission, and that creates an energy you can feel across the company. Transparent Leadership: Leadership does a great job of keeping the team informed about company performance and strategic direction. That level of openness helps foster trust and alignment. Work-Life Balance: There's a healthy respect for boundaries. We work hard, but there’s also space for personal time and flexibility. Competitive Compensation & Perks: The salary, equity, and benefits are strong. Impactful Mission: Working on a product that empowers barbers and barbershops is incredibly rewarding. You can feel the cultural relevance and community impact. Opportunities to Travel: With teammates around the world and hubs in multiple cities, there are chances to collaborate in person and gain global perspective.

Cons

Inconsistent Accountability: There are times when underperformance or bad behavior isn't addressed clearly or quickly enough. This can affect team dynamics and trust. Diversity Gaps in Certain Teams: The company was once a strong example of diversity in tech. That’s shifted over time, and some teams—don’t fully reflect the communities we serve. Leadership Gaps: While many leaders are exceptional, a few could show more consistency in how they communicate and treat others. Leadership style varies more than it should.
