It can be fun… but Tread Lightly - Anonymous employee Strategus Employee Review

The culture they provide, even while being 100% remote, is great. Decent pay and good benefits. They're always trying to improve. Love the paid holidays + extra Fridays off when there's a Monday holiday. The full week off for Thanksgiving and ~two weeks off at the EOY is incredible. The team is great, really smart and likeable people all around. Everyone is trying their best and is ultra-competitive.

The space is really saturated, and while industry itself is innovative, it can get a little watered down. Larger competitors have a lot more $$$ + teams backing them, allowing them to do a bit more than we can at the moment.

Most people are nice, and the company makes an effort to create a caring environment where employees feel valued.

Expectations are unrealistic in terms of sales goals, there’s significant pressure to bring in sales immediately, and there’s high turnover. They have nothing unique or special to sell and in an extremely competitive arena, they have nothing to distinguish themself and stand out. They hook you with promises of making a ton of money, but if you have a good year, due to their comp plan, it’s impossible to bring in enough the next year to keep making the big bucks. There’s very little marketing support and most agencies/clients have never heard of them, so building a book of business takes time, at least 6-12 months, yet they expect results in half that time. Your main job is acting as an BDR and trying to get appointments. Only take this job if you’re desperate.
