Cons
Ahead of my full description, the bottom line is, don't even consider working here. I have never experienced, I have never heard of another company that is just so awful. It all starts with the owner. What can I say? The owner is plain and simple, not a mentor, not a manager, not a people person. If he didn't make so much money, I'd feel sorry for him. As other reviews have stated, the way he sold the position, was in no way, shape, or form the actual position. The salary was $20k lower than market, the commission plan was easily the worst I have ever heard of. You can sell the software, and if the person you are selling to had used the software before, or heard of the software before, it doesn't count as a sale. There is no training program. You sell a complex application. You get two manuals, one for each software. Something like 1100 page manual on one, 500 page manual on the other. That's your training. You do your best to learn the software. You will practice using the software and practice explaining it with one of the MVP's and the business manager. Both people will humiliate you for your lack of understanding on a software they have provided you with no assistance to learn. Not only will they humiliate you, they will laugh, they will demoralize you, and they will do their best to let you know how much you don't know. The whole management team should be ashamed of themselves. I really don't know how these people sleep at night, when they think back over all of the people they have screwed over. And it is a lot of people, trust me. When I started selling, I was not allowed to make my own sales plan. The only plan given to me, was to call people in Asia, Oceania, and Europe. Yes, different time zones. A fool's errand. There was very little window, if any, that you are in the office at the same time the potential clients are in the office. I was tasked with those potential clients my whole first two months of employment. Then when I couldn't get any of them on the phone, I was in trouble. What did they expect? Do they get pleasure out of setting people up for failure? I think so. Oh, and then there are the cameras everywhere in the office, owner watching and reviewing systematically.
