Pros

There are not any pros. NONE! Place will make you lose your mind, your confidence, etc. Maybe they will get acquired and bring in better leaders.

Cons

Liars and are degrading, especially to young professionals. Providing no growth path and only promote scientologists. Very abusive organization - bullying is what the leaders do!!! Bully, bully, bully. They remove all negative reviews --- I sure hope they are acquired. They should remove all current leaders if acquired. The leaders do not have the experience required to treat people like humans. I have witnessed bullying, been bullied and see they treat people poorly. TOXIC culture!!! Toxic!!!!!!! And executive leaders -- are tactical, not strategic but that is because they have NO experience to lead. Some that are VPs were admins but they are scientologists!!! MICRO managers. I hope this helps one person out there realize this place treats people so poorly!!!

Pros

Great office snacks, free ev charging, cool coworkers

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
