Pros

The company attracts talented people and provides solid initial training. You will work with smart colleagues, learn how to sell at scale, and gain exposure to enterprise-level processes. The brand name carries weight on a resume, and the sales experience can be valuable early on.Decent salary

Cons

Unfortunately, the longer you stay, the more the cracks show. Leadership consistently prioritizes short-term revenue optics over sustainable client relationships or employee development. Metrics are constantly shifted, goalposts move mid-quarter, and success is often redefined after the fact. High performers are regularly squeezed harder rather than supported, while systemic issues are framed as individual failures. Management layers are bloated and disconnected from day-to-day reality. Decisions are made far from the field, then pushed down without context, clarity, or accountability. Feedback from frontline sales is routinely ignored, even when patterns are obvious and repeatable. Compensation becomes increasingly unpredictable over time. Commission structures are changed without meaningful input, and the risk always falls on the rep. Career progression is unclear, inconsistent, and often feels political rather than performance-based. The culture quietly shifts from “growth and opportunity” to “pressure and attrition.” Burnout is common. Transparency is selective. Job security feels fragile, even for tenured, high-performing employees.

Pros

I loved the talented people I worked with; I appreciated being appreciated; I loved helping employers hire; and I really thought this would be the company I retired from.

Cons

The company culture changed significantly after it became publicly traded; I didn't particularly care for how they handled layoffs; they didn't always act on the feedback they received; and they were slow to jump on the AI train.
