VIPRE Security In Sales reviews

Since being purchased by j2 Global, they have sucked the life out of the company. They have not paid many of us on time or even correctly on base and bonus. There is no leadership as they all have moved on. It is apparent they will be closing the Clearwater VIPRE office in the near future.

Pay - The company really started sticking it to their salespeople in 2017. Management set outrageous goals with little accountability on how they were calculated. If you did not hit a certain percentage of these goals, they would "clawback" money already paid out to sales reps. Overtime - A lot of overtime is required by the sales team if goals are not being met, which is almost all the time. Forced Employee Churn - The company would often keep the salesteam on their toes by firing someone at end of month, or putting part of the team on a "plan". Desks - Sales folks do not get cubicles, they sit at hightop desks which have a surface area of about 3feet x 2feet. You have other reps to your sides and in front of you. Management claims they're creating an "open work environment", but it just seems another way to cut costs. Health insurance - Seems decent until you have to use it. Unlimited Paid Time Off - That's a nice idea, but this was actually a way to cut down on PTO used by people who worked very hard but weren't hitting goal. You can't use much if your numbers are in the tank, and everyone's were. Morale - Seriously... the place is just so gloomy. Product Always Behind the Curve - The product was always several steps behind the current trend (ransomware prevention, cloud-based) which made it hard to sell, as competitors ate into your business.
