Pros
It is a fun industry to work in.
Cons
The CEO lies every year in interviews about the yearly sales numbers to fluff his egocentric personality. He reports 100 million in sales when really it ranges from a third to half that. He also brags about himself daily in the company wide morning meetings "Scrum" bringing up any lawsuits he's in and that he "doesn't care how much money he has to spend, as long as those (expletive) don't win." The company can't keep a Sales Manager (SEVEN in 5 years!) because sales decisions are now ultimately made by the COO who is a Sanford Profile dropout and knows nothing about sales. He also openly complains throughout the company how the top sales representatives "make too much money." The CEO has now given him control of the quotas which trend every year to sell WAY more yet the sales reps make the same or less despite the increased performance. All while the CEO continues to pat himself on the back that he "pays his sales guys the best in the state". They don't even give sales representatives a commission report. Some have created our own tracker which prove constantly thousands of dollars in discrepancies most months, but NOTHING is done when brought up. They don't even know how to pull the report in their "upgraded" system (NetSuite or as employees call it "NotSuite") and they fired the only guy that did. Great employees in all departments are let go without notice or explanation and if you disagree with either the CEO/COO on anything. Some of which that moved their families across the country to work there. Most people just stay quiet with the constant employee/customer complaints due to the risk of getting fired. Employees joke about an "8 month rule" because that is the longest most department's employees make it due to constant turnover from the culture or getting fired. Then if fired, they have no plan of action for that persons workload and just dump it on others in the department then critique them for delays in their normal daily workload. Silencer Central used to be such a great place to work... Don't waste your time and be part of the joke at "Sanford Central."
