Pros

Since mid 2018, not much

Cons

The lack of commercial and sales knowledge in the business is amazing. They only want yes people. The amount of bullying from the top is unbelievable. The lack of respect for people who work hard is non-existent while the gossipers and backstabbers rise up the ladder. If you can talk the talk you but don't walk the walk, you are in the good books. However if you walk the walk and don't talk the talk, game over. Potentially the most unprofessional environment ever.

Pros

Great on-boarding team and process, multiple health benefit options, hefty bonus structure.

Cons

If you like having ZERO work life balance this job is for you. The expectation to be on at all times is never said, just implied and expected. They'll say don't work late or on weekends, but the job needs to be done. So if 40 hours isn't enough, which it never is, given the daily meeting expectations, managing renewal processes, outreach campaigns, and onsite meetings, figure it out. The sales team is KING, and everyone else has to accommodate their personalities. Sales can be rude and argumentative to MANAGERS in front of other team members or in meetings, and they are still employed because they bring in money! The general feel is "Ask questions but not too many questions" This work environment was toxic.
