Pros

Incredible training program and opportunities to work with companies such as Google and Facebook for learning. The other people in your team are fun and the collaborative work environment is great.

Cons

The workload is unmanageable, with client numbers sometimes getting into the hundreds. The salary is not impressive for the workload and bonuses are cut by "company performance" with no explanation of why this is the case. This leads to very unrealistic salary promotions on new roles that are approximately $5000 above the average. HR management is rude and dismissive. Overall management make decisions on things such as promotions behind closed doors before the role is even advertised which makes it near impossible to work your way up. Staff retention is a serious issue. The company culture is very stiff and private talks will be had about your behaviour if you're not seen to be fully supportive of every company decision that is made. Communication is a serious issue, and this can really impact client facing roles as staff end up having to justify the company's decisions to clients who are negatively impacted as a result, often with no warning.

Pros

Typically sales calls are virtual. Everyone is friendly and I was never micromanaged.

Cons

When you start here, it is difficult to learn due to most everyone working remote. You can't reach over to someone in the next cube/office and ask for help.

Pros

Direct managers really try and seem to care. Flexibility of work from home and PTO is the main benefits here.

Cons

Workloads continue to increase, changes passed down from the top of those that never talk to clients. There have been lots of changes recently. Most are not thought out and issues are NEVER ironed out before implementing. Upper-level management is completely disconnected from reality. Pay is on the low side. Struggling to pay bills on your salary? Jason Taylor(Chief Revenue Officer) suggests a second job or leaving. Annual pay increases? Particularly when the cost of everything has skyrocketed…. Nope. They don’t believe in pay increases.
