Pros

Some of the most incredible people work at Packback. I’m beyond thankful I got the opportunity to work with such cool people. The culture really is the best part.

Cons

Seeing Packback go downhill was incredible hard to watch. It has no longer become the company I started at. Packback was acquired by a private equity firm and cuts were made. Now it feels incredibly corporate and cut throat. I was making an embarrassing wage as an AE because commission payout is little to nonexistent. If you are not tenured, you will have very challenging schools that are very hard to sell into. People are either getting fired or leaving for better opportunities so the culture has become stale and anxiety-ridden. The CEO even jokes about being “a puppet on a string” because she has zero say in the decisions being made. I’m thankful for the opportunity to finally get the Account Executive title at Packback, but I’m not sure it was worth my mental decline lol

Pros

The people here are amazing. Everybody here is truly smart, passionate, and genuinely cares about education and product.

Cons

Since private equity took over a lot has changed. People are shown the door at what seems like a moments notice. Leadership appears overly reactive to what the private equity overlords say. It's an interesting time
