      Sales Leadership is terrible

      Sales
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      They pay well, and remote working policy is liberal. Incredible product.

      Cons

      Sales Leadership, starting at the very top, is the issue. Easy to talk about strategic and platform selling, but inspection drives behavior, and when you inspect tactically and beat up all the reps, it's hardly a motivator.
