Pros

Most colleagues are very nice and helpful.

Cons

Where do I even start... * You are expected to work like a machine. A lot of my colleagues went on burn out leave. * HR is of no help but will chase you with petty stuff. Look at their responses. * No help or support from management * Training and development almost non-existent * 0 transparency from executives regarding big structural changes to the organisation * Generally out of touch

Hello. Our leadership is transparent daily during our company-wide Daily Briefings and Ask Me Anything sessions. The changes made during the roll out of our GTM strategy were gone over in great detail, with many AMAs specifically answering questions surrounding the changes. We have taken CSM feedback, and our CRO announced multiple changes based on feedback received at the end of July. We wish you the best in your next, as clearly KB4 was not the best match for you.

Cons

Out of about 100 AE's only 10 hit Quota, OTE is a joke there. It's possible to hit quota if you are lucky with your inbound leads, but if you want to hit quota every month you have to do something moreso out of the box. I was trained by hard closers and have a lot of expierence with cold calls so i came up with my own script and was getting a demo a day, and was doing a demo a day. The demos did lead to sales as well, so it wasn't a waste of time. I got fired because of a "lack of professionalism" I spoke off script all the time because speaking on script leads you in to the Kool-aid drinkers club, aka not hitting quota consistently. I was fired without warning, even though I was told I had an incredible work ethic and was exceeding the ramp-up numbers. I just didnt match their sales style, they are not looking for salespeople, they are looking for sales associates. They make you work 9-hour days, 1 hour mandatory lunch that has to be taken in the middle of the day. 9-6pm. Their handbook even says you are allowed to take this lunch at 5 pm to go home sooner, but the managers never let that happen. DO NOT BE CREATIVE AT THIS JOB, DRINK THE JUICE.
