The Emperor Wears No Clothes - Sales bttn Employee Review

working directly for the leaders to build out marketing for bttn. Good pay and good hours, no real problems. nice group of sales people

there was not a marketing framework left by previous leaders

-Pays oncoming staff appropriately and generously (plan to stay at that starting rate/salary during your tenure - unless you're a sales rep) -Exceptional talent in ALL departments - I worked with some of the most competent, kind, and talented people while at bttn -95% of all positions can and do function entirely remotely -Flexible with PTO (unlimited PTO - many of the staff would travel around the country or world and would limit log-ins while away) -All departments collaborate and pull their weight -Exciting vision for changing healthcare distribution for customers and vendors/suppliers -Limited micromanaging - must be a self-starter -Senior management is open to ideas, recommendations, visions, etc., for improving processes or growth from the company

-Start-up environment that may not be for everyone (lots of changes, aborting long projects mid way through, long hours for most) -Often overpromise and underdeliver to staff (pay increases/promotions) and clients (challenges to obtain non-stocked and backordered items in a timely manner and encouraging the customer to wait for the product with bttn rather than purchasing it through their alternative source to meet their immediate needs - in healthcare, the primary goal should be to help our clients be successful and be reliable to patient care - that's what builds trust and lasting relationships in the healthcare community) -Quarterly reduction of force layoffs -Limited room for growth (no merit raises or performance reviews/increases) -Began to outsource talent from India and Philippines (generally good and competent hires), but at the expense of US-based staff
