Pros

My boss is great and has enough autonomy to keep the team happy.

Cons

The owners of this business care nothing for the people who work here. They went so far as to cut US holidays after a PANDEMIC forced a reduction in staffing AND limited people from using their vacation time because they felt that no one in the company used their vacation time. Hello, pandemic? Also they will fire anyone who disagrees with them, including department heads who advocate for employees.

Pros

-The Top 20 is well done and the deals are real. —Their priority is a good user experience. -We had talented and bright people who went on to find good jobs with other major companies. -Their owners are German brothers with exquisite taste. Internal company events are top notch, bougie and well done.

Cons

-They started hiring sales reps at half the base pay of what older reps made. While the compensation was fair when I was there, I would not work there now as the base is low. -Overall revenue growth has been stagnant for many years. -They do not innovate and their main product email blasts are old marketing tech. They do one thing (The Top 20) very well and that is it. If you are a person who needs to grow and learn new things and innovate in your career, this is not the place for you. When times got tough, they cut products instead of expanding giving more limited sales opportunities. -Their 401k match was very little only a flat $1,500/year. -Small company so limited growth opportunities. -Like many companies, while they hired all ethnicities, senior management were all white so while they touted diversity and women in leadership, I did not consider them a true diverse company as this was a blind spot for them as it is with many companies in America.
