Pros

Pros? I had a good manager. I liked my coworkers.

Cons

I started at Hibu in November of 21 and it was decent enough for Corporate America. We had a modest departmental holiday party and I was given my birthday as a paid day off. Nice modest perks. The health insurance was solid. The following year the holiday party turned into some FORCED holiday luncheon that if you did NOT attend you had to use PTO time to cover it because you were not permitted to continue working. Birthday as a PTO day vanished, too. The following year the health insurance became - in a word, bad. In fact, it was often like not having insurance. I had to get another job to make ends meet because I was living in a metro area in the northeast and not really making quite enough. I got Highly Successful in my annual evaluations regularly, and a whopping raise of mere cents an hour! I worked there for 7 years and all of my combined raises came out to less than TWO DOLLARS AN HOUR MORE PER HOUR THAN WHEN I WAS HIRED!

Pros

Incredible upside and earning potential! If you consider yourself a top performer, you will earn the money you deserve here.

Cons

It's a hard job. Lot's of rejection and grinding. Can be difficult and somewhat isolating being alone in a territory.

Pros

autonomy, product is seemingly good

Cons

Overall a terrible sales org, commission structure is nonsense and very low percent of reps are on the high tier, including reps that are top performers being on the mid or low tier commission. You are responsible for prospecting, closing, and account management so job gets harder the longer you are there. Force you into long meetings so the VP can show everyone Christopher Voss masterclass videos that are irrelevant. Sales contests where the reward is literally 5 dollars. Training is completely disconnected from how the job actually is, even down to the tech stack they teach you. Sales planning does nothing and does not provide any new leads or any sales tools that work. They do not even have a list of discovery questions to provide you. No one uses any of their provided tech stack you just have to figure out your own processes with no support. Very low base salary which they will lower if you get put on PIP. Extremely unstructured PIP program with no concrete numbers or explanation for how to get off of PIP. Extreme favoritism at the managerial level.
