Pros

Interesting product - investing in product improvements and new features. Company has seen explosive growth over the last 2 years, good VC backing.

Cons

So many cons - It's a sales company focused on new revenue and not improving internally. Operates like a call center. Most managers are promoted from within and have no experience (or training). Lack of professionalism and leadership. No structure or support, sell people on opportunity to grow but unless you're a super seller, there is little growth.

Thank you for your feedback. We often promote from within, because existing employees have a great understanding of the organization and typically perform well in new roles. This structure also creates an accelerated career path for everyone on our team. Revenue is the result of a stellar product and a healthy sales organization. I can assure you that improving internally is a top priority. This includes continually evaluating and iterating on our promotion approach.

Pros

The office is walking distance to some interesting places.

Cons

You will be mislead on what the duties of the job is. As a sales solutions specialist your job is to cold call blue collar workers to sell them A receptionists. You will be told that you are not cold calling and that leads are inbound it is not true. You do not have PTO until after you’ve been there 1 year. There or health benefits. The pay is 45k base pay. You are “eligible” for commissions you won’t make any. They may or may not pay your ramp up bonus. Make sure you get everything in writing before you sign an offer letter.
