Pros

Free coffee, no particular dress code, decent cafeteria, free vitamin water and soda, shuttle bus to Red and Brown lines.

Cons

Tries hard to promote a fun work environment, but it wears off fairly quickly. Poor treatment if you're a temp, low pay (equal to an intern), workplace bullying, disrespectful management. Temps are held to a lower standard making it overly clear you are not a part of the team, thus failing to recognize dedication, hard work and talent. Frequent displays of favoritism by management with huge egos. Expect to be ignored for prolonged periods of time.

Pros

No pro’s whatsoever. If you’re thinking about joining this company, save yourself a headache and run.

Cons

“Burn and churn” culture with minimal long-term investment in employees. Limited support and inconsistent coaching from management. Quarterly quotas frequently change, directly impacting compensation and making earnings unpredictable. Commission, if you’re lucky to get any, gets paid every 3 months- if terminated, you lose out on THOUSANDS of your hard earned money Compensation does not align with responsibilities—BDRs are often expected to perform full-cycle sales functions similar to Account Executives on a low base salary, ($40,000) Once placed on a performance plan, there is little path to recovery and increased scrutiny follows. High-pressure onboarding environment—new hires are expected to close deals quickly, with limited ramp time. Promotions appear inconsistent and not always based on performance, which can impact team morale and leadership quality. Concerns raised to leadership or HR are not always addressed in a transparent or timely manner.
