Pros

Well known in the industry

Cons

This is essentially a wife-husband owned sweatshop. They are arrogant in the extreme after some initial success as a startup, though few of the employees who contributed to that success are still with them. There is 100% turnover in the sales team approximately every 6 months. No one stays after experiencing how un-competitive their products are and the toxicity of the culture. This includes consistently poor market calls and weak databases, and C-suite-ers going out of their way to belittle you and withhold credit for your successes. The fact that experienced sales people who fail at this company do perfectly well at other companies tells all you need to know. They also lack budget for travel and conferences.

Pros

-Generous paid leave and insurance coverage -Mentorship can be good if you have a good manager/team, but this isn't structural -Good coworkers who are willing to help -You learn a lot: work is intellectually demanding, lots of industry exposure, sink-or-swim environment does build resilience and skill, but most places with that kind of pressure at least pay you for it.

Cons

Culture: Public shaming around mistakes, which can breed a culture of self preservation. Clear favoritism dynamic: Favorites get the client meetings, speaking opportunities, and promotions. If you're not a favorite, your mistakes are treated as a character flaw rather than normal learning moments. Career growth: Visibility, development opportunities, and exposure only somewhat linked to merit. You get the growth if you're a favourite, you get a glass ceiling if you're not. Proximity to power and who you are to them is very important. Personally my onboarding experience was also pretty terrible and disorganized. Compensation: Meh. can easily get more elsewhere, though paid leaves and insurance coverage are genuinely very good. Work-life balance: there is an always-on expectation. Boundaries are difficult to maintain.
