Pros

Nice coworkers. Free snacks. Cool office view of the water.

Cons

Below industry pay. They'll respond saying they pay industry standard - they factually don't. Since the Vista acquisition it's gone downhill. We've lost so many good staff and replaced them with Vista yes men. The culture is gone. The bonuses are abysmal, not even hitting mid bonus level for end of quarter. There's going to be a mass exodus. At least Stu got his cyber truck.

Hello Knowster. If you look at the salary tab on our Glassdoor page, you will see that our salary ranges are in line with the industry standards in Florida. As of 10/22/24, the salary tab for CSM shows we are paying between $76k-$118k with a median of $94k. That information is not us posting it but Glassdoor collecting it from people that have done reviews. Our bonus game has always varied month to month, so there has never been a guaranteed dollar amount to hit monthly. Turnover has decreased markedly this year, so we believe that shows more people like the direction we are headed than dislike it.

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.
