Pros
The technology is one of a kind and life changing. Most people that join were sold on the technology and corporate mission, however, that is far from reality in your region.
Cons
Very few good managers who can call themselves leaders. Most are toxic and are in the “boy’s club”. We all joined and knew the challenge, work hours, lack of work/life balance, but nobody signs up for a racist, demeaning, biased, hypocritical boss. Your manager will directly impact your quality of life here more so than any other job. While they demand one set of expectations, corporate and others will demand another set. There is no consistency. If you are on the black list for any reason, you are on it. It’s an intense and high feedback culture- which they advertise proudly BUT they use the same “intense and high feedback culture” to allow for managers to cut you down and keep you down because of their personal biases. Feedback with good intent is one thing, but if it’s not constructive and it’s to push you out, then you’re on your way. There are very few leaders here. There are bright, capable, and selfless people who work here, but know that they are capped out at their position. A management level position is reserved for the “good ol boy’s club”. It’s like a fraternity trying to act professional. The lack of authenticity is truly astounding. To see a manager treat each employee based on their ranking in the club is disgusting. If you’re looking to join for the mission, technology, senior leadership team, benefits, etc., you are among the majority. But you will soon realize the toxic work culture this place has. When you’re working hard with 12 hour days consistently and wearing multiple hats, manager and director level management are sitting back and riding off the coattail of CSR’s. Reps will do the majority of the work and management will ride home with the money. If you’re a white male, you’ll have a better chance here. If you’re in any way apart of the “diverse” group, you will be a quota they try to reach and then you’re gone. If you bow down and suck up to your direct manager on a daily basis, you might, and I want to emphasize, you MIGHT just “survive” here. Find me one sales rep who’s in good standing without sucking up to the bureaucracy system they have in place. It’s a burn and churn place and a shorter life cycle if you’re not a white male. Those who sell their souls to withstand the verbal and mental abuse, I know you got families to feed, but those that live their lives with integrity, you will be morally conflicted here. I’m looking at you east coast sales team.
