Pros

Amazing office team at the two official locations in Germany

Cons

I must say, my last job was an absolute nightmare, a masterclass in corporate dysfunction and misery. It was a place where ambition went to die and where the phrase "work-life balance" was nothing more than a cruel joke. First and foremost, the management at my last job was a textbook example of incompetence. They were like a group of blindfolded monkeys trying to operate heavy machinery. Decisions were made with all the thoughtfulness of a coin toss, and the complete lack of leadership was palpable. It was a case study in how not to run a company. The company culture was toxic to its core. It was a place where backstabbing and bullying were not just tolerated but actively encouraged. The Sales-team was more interested in undermining each other than working together towards a common goal. It was a dog-eat-dog world, and I felt like a piece of kibble. The workload was beyond unreasonable. I was expected to do the work of three people, often working late into the night and on weekends just to keep up. The constant pressure and unrealistic expectations took a toll on my physical and mental health. I felt like a hamster on a never-ending wheel, running faster and faster but getting nowhere. And let's not forget the pay. My last job paid me peanuts for the amount of work and stress I had to endure. It was an insult to my skills and experience, and it made me question why I was even bothering to show up every day. In summary, my last job was a soul-sucking, morale-crushing, and utterly dysfunctional nightmare. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, and I'm thrilled to have escaped that hellscape. If you value your sanity and self-worth, run far, far away from any opportunity with that company.

Pros

It at least gets you into a job that can lead you to other things. Definitely not a career builder but a step in the right direction.

Cons

They’ll say you can make a lot of money but I have yet to see one person clear the amount they project. Base salary is fine but devices are so expensive that no one buys them. Sure you’ll make a few sales but it’s a grind and a begging process. Basically chasing leads that go no where and pray one person buys something every few months. There’s a reason no one stays for longer than a year or two. There are like 1-2 reps that do well… and they’ll point you in their direction for interviews but their territories allow for different things than any other territory so they are making more from convenience and location. Fine job but lots of micromanaging and sell sell SELL mentality with no real data to back it.
