Pros

Product line. Pockets of employees that really care.

Cons

High pressure to sell, and horrific install rate (approx. 40%) & Sales staff paid on installs. Salaries for front line sales reps is 25-30% below Bay Area market. Compensation package is actually "fair", however, inability to install sold services result in poor commissions. Majority of Sales department disappointed in the company & leadership but can't express or do express and doesn't matter - job satisfaction incredibly low, job morale low and job security lacking. Many systems issues, specifically home grown quote tool. Huge employee churn across most departments YOY; many are VP Level (i.e., VP's of Inside Sales, Channel Sales, Customer Care, Marketing/Product, Sales Operations, Training). Company has changed overall vision several times in past several years, and sold of 2/3 of assets that were acquired only 4 short years ago. These moves are concerning. These moves were inconsistent w/ the "company message" from beginning of 2012-14. Recent departures, moves & hires (upper mgmt) have been designed to lean out the entire org., and many long term, successful and experiences employees were let go. Big decisions are mad in a vacuum w/ little regard for company culture. Company fails to execute on business plans YOY, hence selling off most assets w/ employee count of approx. 280 vs. 1400+ 6 months ago. The plan? Get rid of debt, people, salary....and sell.

Pros

Easy access to other departments - once they've got a face to a name, people are super helpful! Work with some pretty brilliant and helpful people

Cons

People get away with posting fake orders & metrics The man who lead the team that posted the most fake/innacurate orders keeps getting promoted (it's good to be the CEO's nephew, right?) Employee feedback is only valued when you're at plan (that's been five to ten sales reps/mo out of around 80) Leadership only cares about what you produce - don't expect anyone to assist you with personal growth Working with depts at other locations is painful unless they're one of the few in their role that care about the cusotmer Half the support teams are now in Manila - they speak English well, but their comprehension is poor and extremely painful to both internal employees and customers The company wasted $100,000 on a bare bones knock-off plug-in for SalesForce (which they could not get to implement correctly) They use the "spaghetti standard" for lead gen - throw ideas out into the internet and see what sticks
