Pros

Free lunches Lots of swag Nice office

Cons

The actual job is difficult and they expect you to perform at a HIGH level. They are not afraid to let any mediocre/hard-worker go. I saw so many people let go from this position if they weren't performing at 100%. The company is growing rapidly, and for some reason they let everyone go. They say you have unlimited PTO- however if you take time off you risk not hitting quota and as a result could get let go. I was relieved when I didn't work here anymore. I am a very social person who gets along with most everybody, especially in previous jobs. I have left all previous jobs with friendships intact. At Podium, there are many friend groups already established and very few people willing to step outside of them. When I left, I didn't have one person that I would keep in contact with despite me trying to reach out and develop relationships- even strictly professional ones. It was honestly very weird and I would never recommend anyone to work in an environment that they didn't feel welcome in.

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
