Pros

Salary was paid on time every Friday. Worked with some cool people.

Cons

Literally everything else, Laptop locks so you can't work past a certain time. even if you're on a call about to book a demo... Teramind is used to not only track inactivity but youre required to maintain a certain percentage of activity like it's an Amazon warehouse, And they monitor it RELIGIOUSLY. The worst I've ever been micro managed. Roles change constantly here meaning you can loose your commission stream immediately. SDRs are compensated with peanuts. But that's not even the worst part. Their CRM is quite Literally the worst CRM I have ever used. So much time wasted filling out info that can be pulled with reports just to waste your time as a rep. You have essentially no tools and youre prospecting lists that have been absolutely OBLITERATED with outreach. Almost everyone I called that answered hated PartsBase because they got nonstop calls, very antiquated sales approach that ruins company image and burns through TAM. Not only that, the retention rate here is abysmal because of that, so you'll see a lot of people come & go.

Thank you for the detailed feedback—we’ll keep this concise. We operate as a performance-driven, remote sales organization, which requires structure, accountability, and systems to support productivity and data security, not to micromanage. That said, we continuously review these tools to ensure they’re being used appropriately. Our compensation and role structures are designed to reward performance and evolve with the business, not to limit earning potential. We also recognize the importance of strong tools and efficient processes, and we’re actively investing in improving both. We don’t claim to be perfect, but this portrayal isn’t reflective of the broader team experience or where we’re headed. We appreciate the input and wish you the best moving forward!

Pros

Many of the negative reviews I’ve read on Glassdoor do not reflect my experience. I’ve never felt monitored or spied on, and no one has ever pressured employees to leave reviews. My manager is the best I’ve worked with, and the other managers I’ve met have been equally supportive and professional. The onboarding process is excellent. The company gives you the time and training needed to understand the business, the market, and the sales approach. Whenever I needed help, I received it. I’ve never felt alone and have always found support from both managers and colleagues. This is a demanding job, but the company genuinely invests in helping people improve and succeed. Like any remote company, there are tools to ensure accountability, but they are not used to constantly monitor employees. The expectation is simple: if you’re working remotely, you’re expected to work and deliver results. Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience and am genuinely happy to be part of the company.

Cons

One area where the onboarding process could be improved is training on internal systems and day-to-day operational tasks. The company does an excellent job teaching the market, the sales process, how to run demos, handle calls, and close deals. However, I believe more time could be dedicated to practical training on internal tools and procedures, such as sending contracts, opening accounts, and navigating the company’s internal software.

Pros

None at all worth listing

Cons

Heavy employee monitoring runs constantly. Step away for five minutes and your computer locks. Bathroom breaks register as inactivity. The premise is that you’re slacking until proven otherwise, and the tooling exists to catch you. The metrics this surveillance feeds are no better. Call volume targets are set at levels that effectively require contacting customers who have explicitly and repeatedly asked not to be contacted, because the alternative is missing the number. You torch the relationships you’re supposedly responsible for, in service of dashboards leadership likes. Customers hate it. You hate it. Leadership doesn’t care. Compensation is opaque by design. Bonus eligibility is gated on metrics calculated from internal systems with known accuracy issues. Requests for breakdowns get policy language instead of data. Verbal commitments from managers don’t survive contact with HR. The handbook describes a progressive discipline process. In practice it doesn’t exist. Terminations come without warning and conveniently timed. Then there’s leadership. The CEO’s children hold senior roles they are visibly unqualified for, making decisions about comp, strategy, and customer policy with no apparent understanding of the actual business. Every “leadership has decided” announcement reflects it. Document everything from day one. Save it somewhere the company cannot reach.
