Pros

It’s a get-rich quick scheme for sons of rich fathers with no real education or poor career prospects. Just weasel your way to the (not so bright) CEO and you are set for life!

Cons

Where to start? - The Boys Club are not only arrogant and ill-mannered but quite frankly are simply dumb. - The CEO got lucky by hiring smart people at the beginning (all of whom have now left the company) but somehow continues to believe that he is behind the company’s short lived success (which dates back to 3 years ago). - The Boys club is a pathetic gathering of sycophants placed in different geographies mostly to boost their fragile egos and to act as management spies. In reality, these “elite” performers would not find any job at any decent payment company (which is why they are still at CKO after 6,7,8 years). This rag tag ensemble of misfits are supported by a middle management that has completely sold out all their values and are holding on for whatever crumbs are thrown their way. All in all it’s a pathetic company run by pathetic men and enabled by pathetic supposed leaders.

Pros

Good salary, thats about it

Cons

Toxic work culture, they want you to work from 6 am to 9pm. If you do not speak french or are not french you will feel like an outsider. Favoritism is big here, manager have their favorites and will feed them inbounds. Very hard to get approval to go to conferences, and there is no ROI, longer reps hold on to bigger name merchants for years even though they are not having any impact, and no one does anything about it.
