Pros

None at all, avoid at all cost

Cons

This company suffers from a distinct lack of imagination and class. The management is some of the worst I have seen and dealt with in a long while. They take your work and ideas and completely squash anything that might work and transform them into long, sloppy and overly complicated procedures. I worked on fixing the database, putting together email and call templates, put together social media strategies and could've turned this into something successful. Instead they put an ignoramus in charge who is focused on helping the company fail. I was mistreated and made to feel like I could not do my job properly, nevermind them not giving me any tools to succeed besides the ones I built, but dismissed constantly. Don't expect any training, don't expect any support and don't expect any communication other than constant criticism and pressure. From the CEO down, this company has proven to be a mess, with not capability or willingness to listen to the people that matter. I would advise job seekers to look elsewhere, because you will not find stability here at all. The company is full of users. There were absolutely zero processes in place, and I had to build everything up and clean up the database from years of neglect. I put together templates, marketing strategies and brought ideas to the table that were all shut down. This company suffers from a lack of imagination and treats it's employees poorly, while management constantly tells you what you can't do.

Thank you for your comment. Let's not forget that you were given significant opportunity to thrive as an inside sales rep. Instead, despite significant repeated efforts to train you, you decided to do things your own way rather than working with the team. You say you created marketing strategies, which is an outright falsehood. Firstly, that was not your job. Secondly, what you did was not in alignment with the marketing team. You tried to create your own parallel initiative, without the background needed to get it right, and without the continuity with our core messaging. As an inside sales rep, your job was nurture leads and get meetings. Those are what you are measured on. After six months you still couldn't articulate the value proposition coherently, despite multiple training sessions. And the lack of results after providing you with months to get it figured out is why you are no longer here. You had all the tools needed to be successful. You had a team who tried to work with you. But you had your own ideas of what to do. That's on you.

Good base salary but that's all

Absolutely no communication with management. They leave you high and dry.

I'm sorry your experience didn't match your expectations. As I remember, there were many frequent training sessions, meetings to review targets, approach, etc. In fact we went over these things multiple times with you. Perhaps it was not a good fit. But every effort was made to provide you with the the tools to be successful. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

Strongbox Data is a spin-out of Crossroads Systems 2 years ago and organizational restructuring took some time and is still a work in progress.
