Potloc Reviews

- Below average pay which hurts motivation; a big part of our salaries were also variable pay based on quarterly sales targets (which the company hasn't achieved or exceeded in over a year and a half). Interns were paid minimum wage when I was there! -Low team morale as the company goes through budget cuts and layoffs; budget cuts limited ability for people to get promotions and pay raises in particular. Company vibe unfortunately changed a lot from 2022 to 2023 as the company went from rapidly growing to plateauing to ultimately downsizing. -Lots of gossip / drama / passive aggressive infighting amongst employees, especially Delivery vs Sales and Montreal vs Paris. - The company gives preferential treatment to the Sales team in terms of perks and pay (i.e. sending the Sales team and management on a trip to Mexico weeks after telling many employees they couldn't get pay raises due to budget cuts, after a quarter where the Sales team was only at around 60% of its sales target and a year where they did not acheive their overall sales targets) and it does not sit well with others - Leadership team that is not particularly experienced, especially in the market research field - Company vision seemingly changes every 6 months which means if you are aligned with the company vision upon joining, that might not last. You see a lot of turnover and instability (even at the leadership level) as a result

The CEO almost forces you to right a review to praise the company, this is done aggressively during the "honeymoon phase" of joining the company to ensure numerous good ratings. When leaders starts calling their employees "family" run don't walk. They party hard (gets out of hand too often) and work even harder, trying to brainwash employees that the office is home. The management is too young, 10/10 would I avoid if you already have experience. There's not much to learn here. Very mixed messaging, telling employees that the budget doesn't allow for salary increases, but others receiving raises and/or bonuses or other sales teams going out to Cancun while everyone else is still working. A lot of animosity between France and Montreal offices.
