Pros

Good benefits health vision dental etc Free lunch on Fridays Flexible Hours Plenty of parking Coworkers are genuinely nice people

Cons

Complete lack of follow through by management. They had people interview for a sales manager position to give the illusion of career growth then decide they weren't hiring, even though they're constantly adding more sales people even though the office can't fit them and customer support can't keep up. You're told to sell on better customer service then transfer your customer into a 25 minute hold time queue just to talk to a tech. You're expected to maintain the customer relationship and be the primary point of contact, but only make a fraction of any add on revenue. Upper Managment does an awful job at fostering a positive relationship with their staff, becoming a leading antagonist in your attempt to do your job or advance. The only coaching you receive is in regards to metrics (number of outbound dials, talk time, etc) which are apparently more valuable than revenue. It is advertised as an inbound sales position but there are not enough leads to go around so you are expected to generate most your pipeline from digging through garbage. This wouldn't be a problem if they were upfront about it, instead it's a bait and switch. People who have been doing the exact same job for years with no growth are the rule, not the exception.

Pros

Some people are nice to work with

Cons

Culture of personality, not competency or meritocracy. Prepare for hysteria-inducing layers of upper management inadequacy and to be fired during a personal crisis as a karmic reward for loyalty to their unethical ways of operating - they have a pattern of firing people during health crises, family death, and other traumatic periods of their life to some of their most competent and capable employees. Do yourself a favor and google “Nextiva lawsuits” for just a peek into some of their standard operating procedures - and that’s just a small peek behind the curtain. Working here felt like a stain on my reputation and moral compass. They make asks of their employees that put them in compromising legal situations and management hides behind them when Goldman Sachs looks for fresh blood to let. They have a bleak moral compass and ineptitude in business strategy to boot - wouldn’t recommend joining this “winning” team to anyone unless they’re trying to flame out and waste years of their life trying to operate in a broken machine. Their cycle of hire and fire is embarrassing and shows that upper management is clueless but continues to punish those doing the work while maintaining a superiority complex that they’re not part of the problem. It makes me laugh thinking of their egos and how clueless and laughable they really are. It’s like a couple of kids got lucky building a business and the coat and top hat is falling off revealing 3 little kids stacked on each other’s shoulders while they demand respect without earning it.
