Pros

Decent pay. Nice environment and people.

Cons

Not welcoming to new ideas to help innovate or grow. Very strict on standard and traditional way of business, which stunts creativity.

Pros

-The Top 20 is well done and the deals are real. —Their priority is a good user experience. -We had talented and bright people who went on to find good jobs with other major companies. -Their owners are German brothers with exquisite taste. Internal company events are top notch, bougie and well done.

Cons

-They started hiring sales reps at half the base pay of what older reps made. While the compensation was fair when I was there, I would not work there now as the base is low. -Overall revenue growth has been stagnant for many years. -They do not innovate and their main product email blasts are old marketing tech. They do one thing (The Top 20) very well and that is it. If you are a person who needs to grow and learn new things and innovate in your career, this is not the place for you. When times got tough, they cut products instead of expanding giving more limited sales opportunities. -Their 401k match was very little only a flat $1,500/year. -Small company so limited growth opportunities. -Like many companies, while they hired all ethnicities, senior management were all white so while they touted diversity and women in leadership, I did not consider them a true diverse company as this was a blind spot for them as it is with many companies in America.
