Cult Culture that exploits commission only sales and rewards poor performance.

Pros

The company has evolved from innovators in the market to a typical venture capital owned company building a future at the cost of the sales people and employees that do the work.

Cons

As soon as you reliant its a cult and not a professional business organization you are culled from the herd and left to starve. No work life balance, Management that is only looking for an exit after the payout….if it ever materializes.
