Pros

I joined this organization over a decade ago and the people I work with are truly the best. They care. They want to help. They are the reason I am still here.

Cons

Over the last 3 years, there has been a major shift in culture, micromanagement, and hyper growth. Everyone I work with has tried to support our efforts in sales, but are overwhelmed with too many clients and don’t have enough time to field calls. The concern right now is how we have shifted from an employee and client first company to all about revenue and focusing on our stock price. The Sr VP of Service is not a true leader or strategic and the Sr VP of Sales only cares about growth, without ever thinking of the long term, loyal, and successful employees. I hope we start putting quality first since we have lost track of that and just focusing on growth at all costs. I hope we find our way back to what made us great once. If not, our brand and reputation will be tarnished and the turnover of tenured employees will be the norm.

We appreciate your thoughts and feedback. As you mentioned, we are growing rapidly. With that comes the increased need to continue hiring top talent. Our growth has allowed us opportunities such as not reducing our workforce at any time during Covid, offering Covid Sick time, offering a loaner laptop program to support our employees whose families were learning remotely, keeping insurance premiums flat for 7 consecutive years, and being among an elite class of organizations that offer RSUs over half of our employees. Our growth has also allowed development opportunities for Sales employees, with focus on increasing career pathing opportunities and Leadership Development Programs. We see high growth as a positive while recognizing that our employees are working in a fast-paced and ever-evolving environment. Our clients will continue to be at the forefront of everything we do, which is why we focus on growth as professionals and as a company, to best serve our clients. To provide additional feedback regarding your experience as a tenured AE, we encourage you to reach out to your Director and Regional Vice President.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
