Pros

CEO is a honorable man with solid business accumen Good benefits Great research team ("CTU") with brilliant research leader Company COULD be great, but doesn't seem to know how to support growth

Cons

middle and upper management incompetency, executive is sound too many customers, inability to scale install team has no motivation to finish jobs operations too busy, missing alerts and causing massive customer issues The buddy system (good ol' boys) runs RAMPANT here Used to have a great inside sales focus, went downhill. Current inside sales management trying to fix it, but outside sales management and up tend to ruin things

Pros

They will hire just about anyone at this point and give nothing but false promises and lie about your potential compensation. If you are connected to upper management or get "tapped" then you will do well.

Cons

Nepotism does exit here and it's a growing business. You have unethical management that blatantly break the company's policies. Capped commission for inside sales people but not for outside. Less than 4% of internal candidates get promoted each year. Work life balance is skewed because although you get an hour for lunch, they expect and even tell you to eat for 10 minutes and get back to work. Earning potential is nothing but false promises due to shady leadership and clawbacks. They claim culture eats strategy for breakfast but clearly someone pissed in their coco puffs. Culture is nonexistent, especially with the company trying to go public. Upper Managements Moral compass is upside down at best. Client issues are at an all time high due to lack of execution and this years GMQ displayed the negative impact on the ability to execute. The company as a whole is not all bad, but the problem is that they are trying way too hard, getting way to desperate, and completely loosing that vision they had 16 years ago as a sacrifice to make more money. I will leave you with this...if you like to control your destiny and your career, this is not the place for you...here is why...you can come in, do all the right things, exceed all expectations, and unless they hand pick you - you will not have a fair and equal opportunity.

Profits over People

Pros

Remote, pay, flexibility, PTO, benefits

Cons

This company does not care about people. They care about profit only. They lay off so many people every quarter; it is flabbergasting. No one has job security. There is no culture building or any sense belonging. You are simply a means to a profit. They cannot keep anyone in the People/Culture role because they are never allowed to make any progress due to people not mattering to leadership. Its a sad place to be.
