Pros

Owners are logical in some areas of their business thinking Flexible with work schedule--PTO days are reasonable A small 2 yr. start-up company with few people in the office The service the company offers has good potential The company has some reputable accounts

Cons

On-boarding process and training of new hires lacks greatly which is sad when the company claims to be the leader in training reinforcement When new employees ask management, those who've been with company for 2 yrs. or more, for the answers to critical and important questions about the company, business, tools, computer systems/programs, resources available, accounts, etc. that are relevant to doing one's job, and employees are given the response, "I don't know" and left to figure out the answers on their own is unacceptable and highly time consuming when its information management should already really know and share. Management talks poorly of past employees in front new employees High employee turnover (client's even brought this to management's attention) Company doesn't have systems in place in certain areas which are essential to the business, employees, and accounts Given many work projects outside the scope of job description and the pay didn't reflect the extra work Management inflates or over exaggerates what they have, have done, or can do to get what they want The job description requirements were greatly disproportionate with actual work and pay Communication difficulties between management and employees Management has unrealistic expectations in timelines and resources needed to complete jobs Everything is a rush job because of poor planning on management's part and employees are tasked with picking up the slack or management's inactivity in time sensitive situations which causes an unpleasant and difficult working environment Management is unrealistic in the time needed to put systems, plans, and processes in place because they are too pressed for time, have to move fast, and because they have made financial commitments. Certain employee unpleasant and distracting behaviors impact the working environment and productivity of others

Pros

Unique solution with low market saturation. Privately held w/ no shareholders to answer to, which may, or may not be a pro depending on one's viewpoint. Not a complex sale, so the sales process qualifies/disqualifies very quickly and projects move to close. It is not unreasonable to think that one could close opportunities within the first 60 days of employment. Company procures leads from trade shows and maintains a sizable data base of leads to call on. Jr. sales roles maintain more longevity.

Cons

Extremely high employee turn over in very short time frames; under 5 months for sales positions. Candidates should do due diligence on social media, reach out to former employees for feedback, and question management intensively so that it is clear as to what the longevity of the role might be. Be advised - history shows a consistent pattern of termination without notice or severance at the conclusion of a successfully closed sales project, and/or a completed lead qualification campaign. Approach this company with the understanding that your position is unlikely to last longer than several months (average employment history supports this). Check with the department of labor for more information. Also, be aware that management is running another company in an entirely separate industry. During the interview process, seek to understand how the two companies share resources, time and how that will impact your role.

Thanks for your review. A new owner (2019) and new management team (2020) is now in place, and we are changing this culture.
