Pros
- Great Top Level, C-level, E-level support. - Great PEOPLE. Camaraderie here, even for remote workers is good. - High level of commissions compared to competitors (Cision/PR Newswire and Business Wire). - Excellent support services - client services, IT, etc. - Higher base salaries and commission opportunities than their competitors (Cision/PR Newswire, Business Wire).
Cons
- benefits are relatively expensive and are mediocre. They could be doing better here. - Some managers here lack training and product knowledge and hurt more than help. - There is a month long training program to start but it is primarily self-guided with videos with little guidance. You have to ask your manager(s) and if they're busy, you get little to no help. Especially if they don't know what they are doing themselves. There is a new hire chat/group but if you don't get it, you're lost. There is no active trainer. Even if you're coming from a competitor, how and WHAT is sold here is different for all three major players. - Expectations are sky high, especially if you're an experienced or tenured rep. The pressure to produce is immediate. And if you don't, they will throw you onto a PIP. - A manager being incompetent, inexperienced and simply unable to lead does not excuse poor performance. - Poor hiring practices. It shouldn't take 6-7 interviews to hire that person. If hired, there is little support with training and then you end up rushing that person out if they struggle. If you're gonna invest in people do it the right way.
