KickFire Reviews

Management will pretend everything is fine and behind your back will discuss how bad you are. Upper management does not have a clue how to mentor and have an open conversation with their employees. The majority of the time if they are not happy with you, you will be the last one to know about it. The CEO tends to appreciate employees who are his friends. In the past he had employees who did nothing but sit in the office and micromanage everyone else around. Also were included in every management meeting and once again did absolutely nothing. Have you ever heard about getting promoted without having an increase in pay? The managements' reasoning is that you still need to prove yourself. Every positive review has likely been posted by management, especially the review which mentions how the company employed sales reps who were not willing to work hard. If this were the case how come the sales reps who are no longer with the company are currently successful at other companies? Don't expect to get paid well in this company. The owner is extremely frugal and expects a lot.

I started working at VisiStat during the "Golden Era" when it was a fun place to work and there was an all around positive atmosphere. It was once a great place to work, full of driven people and management that had an open door policy. It was a great culture where people worked hard and played hard. Things began to trend downward in the Fall of 2014. Management made poor hiring decisions which led to the start of a broken team. While the team used to bounce around ideas and thrived off one another, it now is apparent by the processes put in place that the CEO would much rather have a team micromanaged and doesn't give anyone an ounce of freedom. This has been the greatest downfall at VisiStat. No one wants to come into the office and feel like they have to walk on egg shells. This has been the atmosphere in VisiStat for most of 2015, which is clearly not working. I can't begin to tell you how many sales people have been hired then left on their own accord or fired within this year alone. The turnover rate is one of the most ridiculous things that I've seen. But these are just "growing pains" as another review suggested? Most likely not. Bottom line, when I was there I wasn't happy. And I know about 90% of the sales team felt the same because we would all vent to one another. And to be very transparent, the cherry on top is that the SDR's get paid a 36k salary, and you have to fight tooth and nail to get a raise- even if you get promoted to the AE position. All in all my experience with VisiStat was not the most positive experience of my life. I honestly question the positive reviews that have recently been posted. The the last year it has been nothing less than a rocky and unstable environment, and anyone who is being honest knows it.
