Pros

- Start-up culture allows you to observe with some transparency into the gears of the organization - They invest in user-friendly software to make you life easier: inter-office communication apps, administrative apps, and organizational tools - Relaxed dress code and casual culture makes being on the phones comfortable - Enjoy a pint at the end of the day - The sales team is comprised of fun, energetic, and competitive people - Company offers fair compensation for self-generated sales (you eat what you kill) - Benefits, free coffee, and occasional company outings

Cons

- There is not much training for new hires as it is pretty much 'hit the ground running 'mentality on the sales floor. - Parking is a disaster (invest in a parking garage or be the first one to the meter each morning) - There is a low ceiling on how much money you can make as an account executive (don't expect to get rich) - The company culture that was once worth the lower pay has been lost - In sales you are only as good as your last week here and termination without any warning is very common

Thank you for your comments. We pride ourselves on open and honest communication which translates into a very transparent culture. It’s great that you acknowledge that as it is one of our core values and that it resonated with you. We are disappointed to hear you felt there was not much training for new hires. We have taken action since your time with us to ensure that our new hire training program is a success. We also have an uncapped commission plan to incentivize and reward our sales team. We hope these changes indicate willingness on management’s part to respond to feedback such as yours.
