Pros
Elite product that is industry leading. Cold calling is a difficult job but selling this product makes cold calling easy and people listen on the other end of the line when you say BrightEdge. Training program at BrightEdge fosters success from day 1. At the beginning, you are immersed into the day to day environment of the company all while learning the ins and outs of the industry, hands on with the tool, learning scripts, how to handle objections and cold call at an elite level. So many people hit the ground running here and was fortunate to have BrightEdge as a foundation of my professional and sales career. Some of the things I learned here from day 1 and from my last day at the company I will carry with me for the remainder of my career. Culture is phenomenal, every person in the Chicago office looks out for one another and pushes you to be your best day after day. Everyone gets along and is accepting of one another, I have made lifelong friends at BrightEdge all while hitting my numbers, working hard, and making great money as an entry level sales rep. From 8-5 everyone in the office is locked in and grinding to hit their numbers and helping others do the same. On top of that, it is a fun environment where it makes coming into the office a luxury instead of a chore. I learned an incredible amount from sitting next to my peers and sitting next to leadership and taking advice from them and putting it into action on the salesfloor. Pay for an entry level role is 2nd to none. If you come in everyday with a drive and determination to hit your numbers it is impossible to fail with the resources you and guidance you receive along the way. Hit your numbers and you will make a ton of commission + base pay + overtime. This made it extremely easy to live in the city and live comfortably. Finally, senior leadership has a strong investment in their people and genuinely will do whatever it takes to help you advance your career. Perfect place to start your career, learn a ton about the tech space, make a bunch of money, gain valuable sales experience, and network!

Pros
The offices are generally nice with drinks and snacks available. Parking is not paid but there is a pre-tax match to help offset the cost. Generally, the people that you work with all understand that you’re in it together and everyone is dealing with the same environment so you can commiserate with others. The product is still generally a leader in the space though it’s the high priced product in the industry now.
Cons
It’s hard to list all of the issues. - Micromanagement is by design with unreasonable expectations for seeing results. - Sales management does not give autonomy so limited growth and development selling skills. - No 401k match - PTO generally low for what is typically offered but the expectation is you’re still going to do work when you’re on PTO. - Company holidays seem to only exist on paper since work is still expected when the office should have been closed. - Too many people that were good at their jobs have been leaving recently so it only gets worse for those that remain. - Forced RTO environment with low pay for the industry. - Promotion paths either don’t exist are aren’t reasonably attainable. - Management strategy seems to instill as much fear as possible in the team.
