Pros
Decent work/life balance, good vacation time, and a solid starting point for young sales professionals to learn the ropes.
Cons
The organisation is deeply anti-meritocratic, rewarding loyalty and conformity over talent, innovation, or results. Leadership is corrupt, promoting those who stay quiet and comply, while stifling original ideas or constructive criticism. This creates a bloated layer of ineffective, long-term middle managers who micromanage to seem relevant, demoralising talented sales teams who are often unfairly blamed for systemic issues. The CEO is rarely visible, seemingly hiding from employees—perhaps out of embarrassment for the company’s dysfunction or sheer disinterest. Neither he nor the loutish head of sales bothers to learn the names and faces of top performers or longer-term staff, despite the office being small enough for personal recognition to be expected. A once-fun, respectable job has become soul-crushing to many, with sales competitions now rewarded with trivial prizes like scratch-off lottery cards instead of meaningful compensation. This makes many highly educated, professional salespeople feel undervalued and cheap. Ambitious employees either leave quickly or risk having their confidence drained by uninspiring leaders who make you doubt your worth. Please note: There are quite a few 5-star reviews that seem overly generic or overly positive, which may give an inflated impression of the company’s culture and management. As a former employee, I found these reviews didn’t always align with my day-to-day experience or that of my colleagues. Potential candidates should approach these ratings with a critical eye and consider seeking out direct feedback from current or former employees to get a balanced perspective.
