Pros

Casual dress Lots of TVs playing sports Great if you’re a man who loves golf

Cons

They won't tell you this when you are interviewing, but this is essentially a sales position with additional responsibilities. They love to make the bonus opportunities sound really laid back and easy to obtain, but that's not true. Your performance is entirely based on 4 metrics: average number of trainings per day, total number of outbound calls, upgrades, and getting clients to sign up for the online payment portal. Sales is either left intentionally ignorant about what the software can actually do, or they flat out lie and leave the training reps to deal with angry customers. You are told to "control what you can control" but then they'll take 50 accounts away from you without telling you and expect you to maintain the same numbers. You are often told it is a "privilege" to work there, and office lunches and free beer and soda is considered a perk. Maybe just pay people more. My understanding is no one will be receiving raises this year. Work from home option is slowly being taken away, and you will definitely not get promoted if you aren't in the office every day. Management has clearly drank the BT blue koolaid, and if you don't, you have a target on your back. Work culture is heavily centered around drinking, so if that's a problem for you, I would avoid this place.

Pros

This department is great. Everyone I work with is knowledgeable and self-sufficient. We are trusted to get our work done and there is a lot of flexibility. Pay is decent. I have had some bad jobs in accounting/finance and this is probably my favorite job I have had.

Cons

Other departments seem to have their own issues. We are siloed from those issues so I can't speak to them.

Pros

None, a bunch of frat bros who put you down any chance they get.

Cons

I worked here for over two years, and it was a frustrating and, at times, uncomfortable professional experience. I often felt that my contributions were overlooked, and it was difficult to feel fully respected or included in conversations and decision-making. The workplace culture was one of the biggest challenges. I regularly observed gossip and unprofessional communication, and advancement did not appear to follow a clear, performance-based structure. From what I experienced, promotions seemed more closely tied to internal relationships than to measurable results, which made growth feel uncertain and inconsistent. There were also moments that I found inappropriate in a professional setting. I personally overheard a manager make a comment about wanting someone on a team based on appearance, which raised concerns for me about workplace standards. In addition, repeated day-to-day interactions sometimes felt dismissive or discouraging, and over time that created a work environment that was difficult to feel comfortable in. Leadership often felt disconnected from the day-to-day employee experience, and expectations around performance and quotas were, in my experience, difficult to meet in a sustainable way. This added pressure without a clear sense of support or alignment. This reflects my personal experience, but I would strongly encourage anyone considering a role here to ask detailed questions about team culture, communication style, and growth opportunities to determine if it aligns with what they’re looking for.
