Pros

The business has also invested heavily in the last 12 months in developing skill set, creating clear cut paths to progress through the business and improvements to process to ensure staff are paid better for their efforts. This has been a massive driver to into improving culture and employee well-being, something that from my perspective has worked. Opportunities to travel, win exciting trips and Great commission opportunities when you push yourself to work hard. As someone who's been on a number of trips both to our Summit events and through chairman's clubs, I've always felt incredibly lucky to experience things I normally wouldn't have the opportunity to do.

Cons

Business is fast paced and can be demanding to those who aren't ready for it. You will need to work hard (like any other business) but this isn't anything out the norm.

Pros

Met a few good people here, but none of them lasted. Everyone eventually quit or got pushed out.

Cons

This company is a perfect example of how to burn out employees, squander talent, and mismanage a sales org. Team members are often overlooked, talked down to, and treated more like call-center output than actual professionals. My manager consistently interacted with me and others in ways that were discouraging and demoralizing, and it was clear there was little interest in coaching or developing people. The culture feels more like a clique-driven high school environment than a workplace. Turnover is nonstop, and the atmosphere noticeably changes whenever senior leadership is around. KPIs are unrealistic, and the product is genuinely tough to sell in the current market. Hitting quota is rare, many reps only close a couple of small deals the entire year, and the commission structure doesn’t make it any easier. You’re closely monitored from the moment you log in, and by mid-morning you’re already being questioned about your activity. Late hours are common due to rigid activity requirements. Training is minimal, senior reps generally keep to themselves, and asking for help sometimes gets interpreted as not being capable rather than trying to improve. The day-to-day environment is loud, chaotic, and high stress. Headphones aren’t allowed. Standards are enforced unevenly. Some people are given a wide berth, while others are micromanaged over very small things. The culture leans heavily on pressure, constant urgency, and short-term reactions instead of any real long-term strategy or leadership approach. If you care about your mental health, professional development, or actually improving as a salesperson, I’d strongly recommend looking at other companies. Leaving this role was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
