Pros

Excellent products that customers love. Brand is growing in the US and well-supported internationally.

Cons

Leadership changes have created a toxic, micromanaged environment. Morale is extremely low, most reps are unhappy, and many are actively seeking other opportunities. NSM behavior has fostered fear and low morale. High turnover and oversized territories make success difficult, and incentive compensation often depends on factors outside reps’ control. Q2 incentive compensation was withheld for a metric largely outside reps’ control, undermining trust and morale. Training sessions are repetitive and fail to address meaningful needs, seeming more like an attempt to justify certain roles than to support reps’ development. Culture has shifted from collaborative to punitive, with management frequently accusing and blaming reps. Previous reviews accurately highlighted these issues but have been removed. Some recent overly-positive reviews appear designed to obscure ongoing problems and create a misleading picture for prospective employees.

Pros

One of the positives of the role was the company itself—the products were strong, I really liked the flexibility in the hours, and the commute and location were very convenient. There were also a lot of good options nearby for food, which made the day-to-day experience more enjoyable.

Cons

That said, there were definitely challenges within certain departments that made things harder than they needed to be. Communication wasn’t always consistent, and at times there was a lot of micromanaging and internal tension that made collaboration difficult and slowed things down. It wasn’t the easiest environment to work in, but it did make it clear to me the type of culture I work best in, one with clearer communication and better alignment across teams.
