Pros

It is a somewhat fun team with everyone is young and similar in age. There is a good sense of a team dynamic and very team-focused.

Cons

This is the WORST company to work for. There is no upward mobility in this position. I worked here for almost 2 years and I was not given a promotion or raise once. We were on "sales," but it was a glorified customer service position since the leads already knew of us. There was no "selling" whatsoever and we were paid so little that one could barely afford to live in LA. Every day was the same, so repetitive, and with no chance to move up, there is a lack of motivation on the team. Management is decent but does not care about their reps because there is never any "recognition" or "reward" for doing well and hitting goals. I would not recommend working here.

Pros

Good peer group of women on the team. Mileage reimbursement is provided.

Cons

Extremely high sales quotas that are difficult to consistently achieve, paired with limited compensation upside even when goals are met. The organization feels top-heavy, with too many layers of management relative to the field team, which creates inefficiencies and slows decision-making. Management style can feel overly micromanaged and at times more focused on process and tone than actual business growth or performance metrics. There is limited perceived career growth, and compensation does not scale meaningfully with experience or performance. Overall morale among the sales team is low, and employee concerns around workload, pay, and structure do not always feel addressed in a meaningful way.
