Pros

Competitive base salary with commission potential when goals are met. Benefits were solid overall, and the office itself was nice. Weekly catered lunches were also a nice perk, and there were some good coworkers on the team.

Cons

Despite sometimes being positioned as hybrid, the role was fully in-office. The training program (“STP”) felt more fear-based than developmental, with constant pressure and the feeling that your job could be taken away at any point if expectations were not followed exactly. Quotas initially appeared manageable but ramped up very quickly. The structure also made it difficult to recover from a bad month because performance was tied to both monthly bookings and monthly revenue, with revenue goals heavily dependent on deals closed in previous months. Falling behind once often created a snowball effect that was nearly impossible to overcome. Lead quality and distribution were another challenge, as many leads were heavily overcalled. This made prospecting increasingly difficult and reduced the effectiveness of outreach. The office culture often felt immature and overly “bro culture” driven. Expectations changed frequently and were not always clearly communicated. There was also an expectation to work beyond normal hours, especially during training, which contributed to burnout early on. Additionally, there did not seem to be a real focus on employee development or real improvement plans. If performance slipped, employees were often simply let go rather than meaningfully coached through improvement.

Pros

Really intelligent co-workers who are always ready to grind with you

Cons

Before accepting a position here, please take the time to read the negative reviews carefully; they are genuine and should not be dismissed. Management consistently struggles to provide structure, clear expectations, or a stable work environment. Goalposts shift frequently, and employees are rarely set up for success. The leadership culture is all about the boys club and does not foster thoughtful planning or professional growth, regardless of how driven or talented you are. Employee turnover is extraordinarily high, and job security is essentially nonexistent. This is not a reflection of the employees, the company attracts motivated, hardworking people, but the organizational dysfunction makes it nearly impossible for anyone to thrive long-term. Be skeptical of the positive reviews. They incentivize favorable feedback through travel credits and other perks, often encouraging new hires to post within their first week, before the reality of the environment sets in. No matter how strong your work ethic, the systemic issues at the leadership level will likely prevent you from building a sustainable, rewarding career here. Proceed with caution.
