Pros

Fantastic coworkers, nice office, decent PTO plan when you can afford to take time off

Cons

Unrealistic expectations to hit KPIs that don’t update as our workload continues to increase with our scope of support. The position has become significantly more technical and challenging despite no compensation increase, and management has explicitly stated there are no plans for this as we continue to support more products. The support department had rather measure and base your performance on how quick you are to press a button rather than your ability to help customers or resolve issues. Don’t expect to be trained adequately on any of our products before being thrown into the frying pan. That isn’t even touching the company-wide issues that have appeared after our CEO change and PE acquisition.

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
