Pros

The most supportive and helpful team. Bar none! Every team member genuinely wants to see their peers succeed and any questions are answered/resolved almost immediately. I've worked most of my months in the most locked down city in the world and Podium does its best to regularly check-in on me and keep me accountable to my goals

Cons

The need to have an innate desire or hunger to succeed in a sales environment. There is a stronger emphasis on the topline, can add pressure and lead to struggle with attrition.

Pros

Cool office building, learn from some of the best sales reps you’ll come across in your career

Cons

I worked at podium for a few years. It was the most toxic sales culture I’ve ever experienced. I do not say that lightly It was worth the money a year/two plus ago. They raised quotas multiple times in the last year and decreased the commission percentages. It is wild how many hoops an ae had to jump through to close a deal. In my 7+ of being in sales it was probably the hardest sale to close and I was a top rep. If you want to join podium it could be a good learning experience but it will come with a lot of headaches, anxiety about job security (they pip sales reps out like no other company I’ve ever worked for) and maybe some tears
