Pros

Positive work environment (promoting healthy lifestyles with walk breaks), excellent benefits, productive work day.

Cons

Because technology is changing, it is tough to stay ahead of what new features are offered through the educational programs (rather a challenge than a con). The pay scale ladder is still being developed, asking for larger/ more demanding job description without compensation being established.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
