Pros

- Managers routinely have 1 on 1's with employees. -Office location -Product has a good reputation - Pingpong table -Nice staff (below management team) -This could be a good starting point for a sales career but that's about it. You will learn some good fundamentals but it's really nothing more than a minimum wage paycheck. -Do you want to make great money as an Account Executive? Look elsewhere.

Cons

- Staff is walking on eggshells. Management is self-serving. -Broken promises to my coworkers on a variety of issues. Three employees were hired with the expectation of flexible hours and the ability to occasionally work from home to be with their children. This was a lie and someone has since been fired because of this conflict -The contract you sign is near worthless. Management increases your quota as they please while imposing restrictions on the sales team. They do not value hard work and achievement like a startup should. - Terrible expectation setting. Many employees have been sold false promises of equity in the company, benefits, upward mobility, growth plans. -Account Executives regularly miss out on their hard earned commission due to lack of customer support on the front end which causes frequent customer churn. -Hiring people with little relevant experience. - Expected to work and only work when in the office. No downtime. This is not a "work hard, play hard" atmosphere. -Management far too focused on saving money.
