Pros

- majority of coworkers are amazing and genuinely nice people - fun product to sell - flexibility to work from home sometimes - decent benefits - fun parties

Cons

- STRESS - "unlimited" PTO is not a benefit because the sales quotas are ridiculously high and people are afraid to take time off for fear of not hitting goal - Quotas keep increasing even though last year our quotas were lowered significantly because renewal assistance was taken away; so now what's the justification for the increase? (if the answer is price increase, that is no justification because we have to discount significantly to make sales which then forces us to make more sales to be successful) - meetings that are a waste of time - management that isn't clued in; I no longer feel comfortable having my manager call a vendor because they're not comfortable selling or how to position the questions correctly - instituting a performance plan just a short time prior to quota increase - having reps pay for staffing issues (quotas going up across the board when we are understaffed)

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. As you referenced, you know first hand as a current employee that we collect feedback regularly from various channels, take everything we hear very seriously and do our best to make adjustments. We recognize there has been change with quota structure on our Sales team over the past year. WeddingWire has been in a phase of high growth and with that comes change and challenges but also excitement and opportunity for global growth and success. As we work to scale as seamlessly as possible, we know it isn’t a perfect process. Nevertheless, we remain focused as our continued global expansion will not only benefit the vendors that we sell to and the consumers they serve but also our nearly 1,000 employees across the world. It is clear that you’re feeling these challenges personally and I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you in person. If you prefer, you’re welcome to speak directly with our Sales Team HR Business Partner or any other sales leader you’re comfortable with. Thank you, again, for taking the time to share your perspective.
