Pros

Used to be a good company. Everything changed in a negative way.

Cons

This used to be a good company, but the culture and direction shifted drastically after the previous sales leadership left. The new sales lead and the CEO have completely overhauled the department for the worse. Instead of promoting internal sales talent who earned their way up, leadership filled key roles with CX personnel who have zero sales experience. The strategy has shifted from building genuine prospect relationships to obsessing over rigid metrics, essentially turning sales into a micromanaged customer service center. Ironically, internal training videos warn against placing unearned people into leadership positions, yet that is exactly what happened here. Promotions now seem to favor compliance, identity optics, and blind loyalty over merit and track records. Account Executives have lost all autonomy and trust, replaced by heavy-handed micromanagement driven by power and control.

Pros

A company that truly embodies learning and growth. Working from home is obviously a huge plus, but feeling supported, valued, and challenged in ways that help me grow are what keep me here.

Cons

I wish the health benefits were more affordable for families.

Pros

Remote work, good coworkers, opportunity to learn sales and customer service skills.

Cons

Micromanagement, excessive monitoring, focus on activity metrics over results, inconsistent coaching. I worked for AnywhereWorks for many years and was a top performer for much of that time. Earlier in my career, I felt trusted to do my job and focus on serving customers. Over the last couple of years, the culture shifted significantly toward monitoring and micromanagement. Performance seemed to be measured more by activity metrics than actual results. There was heavy tracking of schedules, time away, calls, and other daily activities. Even small things, like running a few minutes late to lunch because you were helping a customer, required additional steps to have your schedule adjusted. It created a stressful environment where employees often felt watched rather than supported. One of the most frustrating experiences was receiving coaching from leadership that was based on incomplete information. In my case, customer communications and notes were documented in the CRM, but leadership did not always know how to locate that information before providing feedback. This led to conversations that felt disconnected from the actual work being done. There are still good people throughout the company, and I learned a lot during my time there. However, the increasing focus on monitoring, activity requirements, and micromanagement ultimately made it difficult to stay engaged and do my best work.
