      Pros

      Good PTO, free coffee, free iPhone, decent base pay. Friendly coworkers. Standing desk. No weekends, flexible schedule. High security.

      Cons

      Super slow installs, comp plan is confusing and takes months to get commish, manager is clueless to technology and lacks B2B sales acumen. Quotas rarely met. Unmotivated, moonlighting sales engineer. Terrible back office highly convoluted systems. Competing with major account reps. Pass the buck mentality in every department. Lazy union techs.

      Pros

      Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

      Cons

      Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
