Pros

The staff are absolutely amazing, friendly, warm, and genuinely one of a kind. You really feel comfortable working with them. The commission is fairly good

Cons

There is excessive micromanagement, especially around attendance and office presence, with focus on things that have nothing to do with actual performance or work quality. • Hiring decisions are sometimes based on personal connections rather than qualifications, bringing in people who are not fully qualified just because they are easy to manage. Authority is then imposed on teams through these hires to maintain control. • The company lacks a clear roadmap and long-term vision, which creates confusion and uncertainty for employees. • Overall, the environment no longer feels fun or inspiring to work in mandatory, adding pressure without clear benefits. • Unfortunately, the company feels like it’s heading in the wrong direction, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others at this stage.

Pros

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

Cons

I am making $185k total comp as a basic Marketing Manager. Not even a 'Senior' Manager, but just your basic peasant-class Manager. How can I be making as much money (or more) than some of the Forcepoint staff lawyers, more money than some junior-level medical doctors, but my job title is equivalent to that of some recent college grad? This matters because my job is Director-level in everything but title only. All my KPI's, performance reviews, and work, is at the Director level. But because I am a basic manager, some of my peers treat me as if I am 23 years old making $70k/yr with bare bones KPI's. This creates an awkward situation because I am paid more than many colleagues who have more senior job titles than me. But since we do not openly discuss salary, my peers do not know this and think my KPI's are basic, when really I have much higher KPIs than colleagues with more senior job titles It is silly that some peers are making 20-30% less than me, but have more senior job titles just because of tenure - which is a meaningless indicator of performance.
