Product is good, sales leadership is terrible

Sales executive

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some great people in the business, with a good product (at times). Delivery isn’t consistent.

Cons

The sales leadership is a very low standard. I wouldn’t recommend working here as you’ll be taught a poor sales process and get fundamental bad habits. Be prepared to be “beaten with a stick” over KPI’s and deals. I wouldn’t recommend working here.

Pros

They give you a pair of golden handcuffs. Super salary but they want you to hand over your soul.

Cons

Toxic mentality, boiler room environment and cut-throat attitude. Non flexible. Huge staff turnover every six months. Always looking over your shoulder to be asked to leave.
