Pros

Company culture is very social. Lots of perks. Great benefits.

Cons

Somewhat of a social pyramid. If you don’t socialize enough it will lesson your chance of success. This is not just a clock in clock out job. It is 100% tele-sales. If you’re looking for an office job research tele-marketing and tele-sales before accepting this job. You have to be persistent. You’re expected to call nice people who have kindly refused your offer back again and again. Get used to people hanging up on you. The overall targets will make you doubt yourself if you ever thought you could be in sales. This is not your typical sales because it’s on the phone you have a few minutes to sell anybody on the idea of buying software. And finally there is no work life balance at this company. You’re either all lightspeed or you’re out. You will be expected to stay longer or at least pressured because everyone else does (you’ll look like a slacker for taking your whole hour lunch). Especially if you haven’t met your target be expected to stay 1 hour later everyday till you do if you ever do. I’d say this job is best for anyone who doesn’t have much to do outside of work.

Pros

-Unlimited PTO - Use this, the company allows it. This is the main reason I stayed at this company for so long. If they did not offer it, I would have been gone within minutes.

Cons

-Low pay- the company makes up for not paying you by offering unlimited PTO - They keep switching from Atena to Cigna, Kind of annoying when you already have an established PCP - Constant layoffs, its a running joke in this company that when you become a Team Lead you are about to get laid off. - Pay increase- Also it looks like when you start making too much money, prepare to get laid off. Accepting pay increases comes with less job security - This job you need a lot of adaptability- you never know if you might come in and you have an increased amount of duties because they laid someone off - this increase of duties does NOT come with an increased salary/hourly wage either. You are just expected to take on other peoples job duties for nothing in return. -Literally everyone is figuring out things on the spot, there are no tools provided to you to guide you through things. You just gotta figure it out as you go. - The company asks for more than they give. - The company has way too many meetings. You will end up sitting in meeting listening to other departments speak about things that have NOTHING to do with you. Time is not spent well here, time is wasted. - The CEO is very boastful and braggy, like telling us things about his personal life that doesnt pertain to anything related to work in any way, shape or form disguised as " fun facts" when its just a chance to brag.
