Pros

Fantastic team culture with supportive peers and collaborative leadership. You're trusted with high-impact accounts and given autonomy to manage relationships strategically. The role is meaningful — you truly get to help teams grow their businesses with a product that delivers real value. Feedback is encouraged, and the company is transparent and mission-driven.

Cons

For the level of ARR and account responsibility CSMs manage — especially on Platform accounts — compensation feels slightly below market. The pace is fast, and success requires juggling many hats, so strong organization is essential. Some internal processes could be streamlined to reduce duplication of effort.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
