Pros
You get to work from home (unless you are an east coast seller, then you are forced to report into the office because the sales leads aren't great leaders and think that micromanaging IRL will solve the problem)
Cons
Working at Influential feels like being on a train that is crashing through the station. It is more obvious than ever that the blind are leading the blind. The proof is in the mass exodus happening at the company as we speak and the mess feels quite large to clean up. No one knows how to give or take feedback, the managers are not set up for success, and no one on the sales team is properly trained, let alone managed. The leadership team has made it clear that as long as you generate revenue, you can treat the teams however you please. The company touts diversity in their campaigns and yet the only person of color in the c-suite holds the token “diversity” role. Communication has gone down the drain, except for when the CEO teases broken promises via email in hopes of boosting employee morale. HR is non-existence and simply PR for the company. The solution to any problem is always to hire a c-suite exec with a fancy title to collect a paycheck without providing any real value (or even details regarding the expectations for their role). Since the appointment of Andrea Millet as Chief Operations Officer, what used to be a great company has since become a culture-less, soulless environment devoid of humanity. It is clear that she has only worked at one other company and greatly lacks the perspective and awareness to run a company that people actually want to work for. She has put profits over people and the result is obvious: the employees want out. Be mindful of the positive reviews you see on Glassdoor — they are clearly written by the leadership team and perfectly timed around the real, negative reviews.
