Poor Ethics

Pros

Highly collaborative work environment. Members of the CX Organization are incredibly kind and motivated at all levels.

Cons

The ethics displayed to both clients and employees at Popmenu is absolutely disappointing. In an effort to cut costs, I was laid off by Popmenu while I was on maternity leave, just 3 days before my arrival back to work. As a first time mom of a 9 week old baby, I can personally attest that Popmenu’s actions and treatment of their employees is in direct contrast of their company core values. While these core values are taken seriously and demonstrated throughout the CX department, it is absolutely not displayed at the executive level. Additionally, clients are consistently mislead and lied to about the product’s capabilities and payment terms. Popmenu is unwilling to rightfully dissolve contracts when expectations are not met, and makes it the responsibility of the CX department to answer for the Sales Team’s unethical practices. This oftentimes puts small businesses, a client base they claim to deeply care about, in an incredibly difficult financial bind with no sympathy or remorse. Read more about this on the BBB. There are too many small businesses suffering at the hands of Popmenu.

A sinking ship

Pros

Unlimited PTO (make sure you actually utilize it!)

Cons

If you want a job that causes you immense anxiety and requires you to work well OVER 40hours a week to feel like you’re ahead... this is the job for you! I am writing this with the full intent that leadership will finally take accountability for their actions. The burnout on the team is absolutely insane. Instead of rehiring when employees leave (or get laid off) management decides to reallocate the work to overloaded employees, with no compensation or additional support/benefits. The company is ran by leaders who do not know how to lead, and quite frankly don’t understand how their product works or how it impacts “mom and pop” restaurants. The only piece holding the company together is the lowest level of employees who CARRY the company (MAJOR shout out to onboarding, support, CMCs, & CSMs - these people are the backbone of the entire company). And of course, all low level employees are extremely underpaid and unrecognized. Life is too short to begin with, and a company like Popmenu will suck the life out of you until you become mentally and physically drained and depleted.

Pros

Getting out of the organization was the best pro I could think of.

Cons

Where to start: As a seasoned vet at the company, I was put on a PIP midway through the month with no notice. I was given a quit or be terminated ultimatum. So they even knew the PIP was unattainable. They have done this to multiple employees during my tenure there. In my time with popmenu, they raised the rates between 4-6 times (I cant even remember it was so absurd) and didn't add any improvements to the platform. The commission structure is an absolute mockery to sales professionals. If you are looking to advance your career RUN. If you are a first year AE or looking to get into sales, this might be the place for you. I'm all for the road to profitability, but at what expense? Popmenu literally chased top tier talent out the door and they all went to competitors who paid them more, have more market share, and will ultimately cause Popmenu to sell at a way undervalued price because of horrible businesses decisions. If you are applying to the enterprise team, go look somewhere else. The product isn't built for enterprise businesses. The support and customer success team can't even take care of 3+ locs (not their fault, it's because the tech malfunctions more than it should and it's capabilities aren't up to par). It will just lead to an FTL or churn in the end. In closing, Popmenu should have sold during peak covid when they were getting offers. What once was a necessity, is just a nice to have now. Restaurants don't need Popmenu and they know it.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We are disappointed and a bit surprised to hear. As a seasoned vet of the company, you would have had a front-row seat to the exciting tech advancements we’ve made to our core platform as well as the expansion of our AI-powered features such as phone answering and social posts. We constantly push out new product features and enhancements which only reinforce the value of the product—in fact, we had multiple feature releases in the past three weeks alone. In terms of our sales organization, our commission structure reflects that of other mature SAAS companies and is designed to provide higher earning potential for our teams. Both quota goals and performance plans are built with fairness being a top priority. Our sales environment is unashamedly performance based, as it should be in most hunting environments, giving equal opportunity for sales professionals to determine their incomes. Popmenu is a critical partner to more than 10,000 restaurants, providing excellent opportunities for teams across the company. We are excited to continue charting new trails and exploring what is ahead!
