Pros

You get a laptop. Sales team is cool and actually tries, even though they’ve got nothing to work with. That’s about it.

Cons

You walk in thinking you're going to sell something solid with support behind you. What you actually get is a broken product, barely functioning add-ons that we’re told not to sell, and leadership pretending everything’s fine. Try explaining to a prospect why the features they need either don’t work or aren’t available. Total nightmare. The CRO is obsessed with dashboards. Miss your number for one month, and you’re on a PIP. Doesn’t matter if you’ve crushed it quarter after quarter. One slip and you’re done. No coaching, no context, just pressure and silence until you're pushed out. He’s a bully, not a leader. We had a former CMO who actually had experience and a real strategy. He didn’t last long. Leadership couldn’t handle it. He was trying to fix things and challenge the way it’s always been done, and that doesn’t fly here. Then there was the interim CMO. The guy spent most of his time filming painfully awkward TikToks and Facebook videos like he was trying to be a blue-collar influencer. He genuinely thought those posts would go viral and generate pipeline. That was the plan. Watching it happen in real time was honestly embarrassing for everyone involved. We’re always given the same talk tracks, never anything fresh. Calling the same accounts over and over, saying the same stuff, and bringing up the skilled labor shortage like it’s breaking news. Meanwhile, the competition keeps it fresh, switches it up, actually gives their reps something to work with. We don’t. We just keep running the same play and hoping for different results. Talented people either leave or get blamed when things go south. Leadership acts like hiring a few new people will solve everything, but nothing changes when the same old crew that’s been here from the beginning still controls everything and refuses to do anything different. BuildOps, the company we were all told was destined to fail, just hit a $1B valuation and opened an office in our backyard. Clearly they did something right.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While this review is difficult to read, we understand that it reflects a period of significant transition for our company — especially within the sales organization — and we truly appreciate the perspective. Over the past year, ServiceTrade has undergone a substantial transformation. These changes were driven by a shared commitment to improving our performance, our product, and our culture so that we can better serve our customers and team members. To support this evolution, we introduced clearer performance expectations to help drive accountability and consistency across the go-to-market team. That said, we’ve also adjusted and refined our approach over time to ensure we’re focused on the right outcomes, especially around quota attainment and long-term success. We recognize that not every decision or initiative will be perfect. But we’re committed to learning, listening, and building an organization where talented people can thrive and where teams are set up to succeed. We’re genuinely sorry your experience at ServiceTrade felt disappointing. Transitions can be difficult, and while our intent has always been to create a more focused, high-performing environment, we know the impact can feel personal. We’re grateful for the contributions you made during your time here, and we sincerely wish you success and fulfillment in your future roles If you're open to it, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and hear more of your feedback directly - feel free to reach out to me anytime. ~Eric Schieck, Chief Revenue Officer

Pros

Learning experience—if nothing else, you’ll gain insight into how not to run a company, which can be valuable for your career. There are also flexible working arrangements, but only for some.

Cons

If you're looking for a job where hard work is rewarded, talent is valued, and leadership knows what they’re doing, look elsewhere. This company is a case study in stagnation, dysfunction, and poor decision-making. The pay is insultingly low compared to industry standards. Employees are expected to overperform with little recognition, while competitors lure away top talent with better compensation, benefits, and career growth. Speaking of career growth, don’t expect any. Promotions and even cost of living raises are rare unless you’re part of the inner circle—a group of long-tenured, under qualified employees who block progress, resist change, and shift blame when things go wrong. Instead of fixing problems, leadership drives out talented employees while holding onto dead weight. HR is a complete joke. Lots of empty rhetoric but nothing to fix the toxic culture. Then there’s leadership, a group of risk-averse, outdated thinkers watching competitors pull ahead while refusing to adapt. They push aggressive targets without improving the product or giving teams the resources to achieve them. Employees are expected to deliver more with less, while leadership remains disconnected from the realities of the industry. Some people, however, thrive in this environment—especially those who were never qualified for their roles in the first place. That won’t stop some from micromanaging every decision to compensate for lack of skill. Instead of focusing on what actually drives growth, they control everything while contributing nothing. Meanwhile, the company stays trapped in a cycle of poor decisions and wasted potential.

Below-Market Pay

Pros

Decent work/life balance, option to work remotely

Cons

Salaries are below market and the company would rather let high-performing, beloved workers see a competitive pay rate, losing emphasize on Product scalability and enhancements, too much fluff based on "market feedback," hiring many VPs and C-suite folks while teams are understaffed of individual contributors

Hi and thank you for taking time to leave this review. We strive to balance competitive compensation with building a strong leadership team to support growth. We understand the importance of retaining talented employees and are consistently reviewing our compensation structures and resource allocation to ensure teams feel supported and valued. It's challenging to balance these things within a fast growing company and industry, so we appreciate your perspective. If you would like to discuss these topics 1:1 with me, your manager or any of the ELT members, please reach out. I think it would be a productive discussion. Best, Amy (Chief People Officer)
