Pros

Great WLB due to low compensation and low salary - mid-management also "takes it's time" and working just a several hours per day. also - this is a great company to headstart your career. after a year or two you can pretty much double up your salary and the industry will mostly welcome you.

Cons

Lack of top tech due to very low pay grade and compensation (I'd say at least 30% below market), management really take advantage of world crisis even though it doesn't effect the company whatsoever - they use it as an excuses to have a really bad compensation (even if you are a top performer) ridicoulous daily allowence for food, basically - with every step you take - you always feel like someone is saving money and you're just here to be squeezed.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
