Pros

Podium has an excellent product that actually works.

Cons

Podium has no concern for their employees right now, they are trimming the fat so they look really good to the investors. They’ve been talking about a company goal for the last 3 years or so that will help benefit those investors and it seems like they’re getting desperate to make it happen and it’s negatively effecting the work environment and I’m not sure it’ll ever go back. I have spoken to dozens of employees and there is a lot of uncertainty and anxiety that's being caused by the attitude of upper management. I used to tell everyone how much I loved it there and now my feelings have definitely changed.

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
