Pros

Takes great care of employees, very good benefits, some of the best products on the market, and always a very stable company with a "steady Eddie" stock history! Best procurement consolidation play on the market today! Their US West Management Team is awesome! Some of the best in the market today!

Cons

Pay has historically been low, causing a lot of employee churn. This has definitely changed for the better in the last 1 1/2 years, but remains an issue with people hired in the last 2-4 years. High-level marketing materials are often too technically inclined and often miss "The Why."

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
