Pros
-Decent benefits -Work from home flexibility -Ability to write your own paycheck
Cons
– Zero acknowledgment from upper management, while they actively took credit for my (&others) work and results. – Multiple roles were eliminated and their full workloads were pushed onto remaining employees with no additional pay. Over two years, 4–5 positions were cut and their responsibilities were dumped on me (and others), turning a 40-hour week into a 70-hour one — yet quota expectations stayed the same. – Operations managers were put in charge of the sales department despite having no sales experience and no understanding of the sales process. Having operations write the sales pitch and training materials for sales executives (also policing & forcing its use) was completely misaligned with best practices. – When I left the company, my entire pipeline of sales was suddenly “cancelled,” despite maintaining a cancellation rate below 2% for years. This happened to many other sales employees as they left as well. -My integrity was challenged when the service I was selling repeatedly failed clients, forcing me to question whether it was ethical or aligned with my values to continue promoting something with such a high failure rate.
