Pros

young company, good culture, good colleagues

Cons

Where do I begin... The sales department is going through some major changes and as a result are so, so disorganized. They use monthly quotas and we wouldn't receive them until the third week of the month. One month, they even doubled my quota with three business days to go (and cut my bonus in half). Managers literally just say whatever they hear from the director level and whenever you question that, they get defensive because they can't even explain why things are happening. Managers treat sales reps like five year olds, complete with clapping and decorated whiteboards. The sales department is turning into a call center. You must make 35+ calls and have an 1:30 of talk time, even if you are one of the top performers on your team, you will be questioned if you don't make those calls. Earlier this week I was laid off, with about half of the department. The B2B Director explained "they over hired, it didn't have the ROI they expected and they couldn't afford to pay us". We only got 2 weeks of severance and some people who were laid off had been at the company 2.5 years. Also, I think I was on track to earn like $45-50K for the year. Such a joke for a sales job, I'm looking at sales jobs now where I could easily earn $80-100K.

Worst experience of my life. Profits over people is bottom line

Pros

Employee discounts are great.

Cons

Management doesn't care about workers. Will fire you if absent twice in first 60 days no matter the case. Pray you don't get injured or have a death around you or you're 100% a goner.
