My Experience as an Employee - Account Manager ZoomInfo Employee Review

I must say that my experience with the company's leadership and culture was disappointing. The company's culture is centered around profit, and the CEO, Henry Schuck, seems more focused on building a personal fortune than creating a supportive work environment for his employees. This has resulted in a toxic work environment where employees feel undervalued and micromanaged, with a culture that resembles a "boiler room" rather than a modern, forward-thinking workplace. For example, the sales team is blocked out from taking any PTO in December. If leadership does not trust employees enough to take a day off during the Holidays, why should employees trust management to do the right thing in return? The sales team is encouraged to focus on aggressive sales tactics instead of delivering value to customers, which can lead to dissatisfied customers who feel taken advantage of. Moreover, when the company went public, rank and file employees were not granted shares or equity, which was extremely demotivating for hardworking employees who felt unrecognized and unrewarded for their contributions. Until there is a significant change in leadership and company culture, it is challenging to recommend them as an employer. They will pay lip service to changing and evolving, but leopards don't lose their spots. The culture here is rotten from the top down.
