Pros

Not that many other than unlimited PTO and 401K matching at 8%.

Cons

Bad management. Boys club- no one really seems to like women being around and are often dismissive. Bad commission plan/structure. They actually make it harder to make your commission by tripling your required numbers every year. Commission is not based off of sales dollars, but a percent of a percent of a percent of your mark up per sale. It's the most unfair and strangest system I have ever seen. Lot's of unhappy employees.

Pros

Strategic partnerships across internal departments; access to leverage multiple partners, SME, tools, resources to win opportunities; education/training opportunities are expansive and accessible. Great work culture!

Cons

So big, we get in our own way; escalating to problem-solve is extremely laborious and tedious to get standardized unified KPIs for consistency/expectations. Terrible onboarding for new hires; lowers morale from the beginning-on your own to figure it out if you do not have an organized, attention-to-detail manager-too long to help have experienced talent be turn-key since the applications/CRMs are extremely outdated; finding who you need to get an answer is cumbersome; if you do not know people, you will take that much longer to find the right internal partner to assist with basic tasks.

Pros

Higher hourly than most companies.

Cons

Very low commission. Toxic management and work environment. The inside sales manager makes derogatory comments all day long about people he doesn't like. He makes threats to damage property when he gets called out for his toxic behavior. He texts his puppets to spy and report my every move all day long. This is the most toxic work environment I have ever worked in and HR allows this type of behavior to go on. If you report anything to HR, they won't acknowledge or take your complaints seriously. They will try to trick you into taking PTO that you don't have, so they have a reason to fire you for putting in an HR complaint. Don't waste you time with this company or office. You won't be here long.
