Pros

As an SDR you are enabled to be the best. When you start the company flies you out and puts you up in a hotel (great opportunity to use the platform and see it's benefits) at HQ in Palo Alto for a sales/TripActions bootcamp. When you come back the learning doesn't stop. Your manager, team and anyone in the business is there to provide feedback and support wherever you need it. I leveraged this feedback, was successful and was promoted to manager in 12 months. As a manager, I'm meeting with Directors and VPs regularly on strategy to improve the team. In addition, I hire for my own team and work with my reps to get them promoted as soon as possible. TripActions operates in and is disrupting a $12 trillion industry. As the company continues to grow and gain market share, your opportunity to grow within the business increases as well.

Cons

The team is always thinking strategically about how we can improve, leading to a lot of change which can be a little stressful. Having said that, I rather work for a company looking for ways to be better and deal with the change versus a stagnant business.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
