Pros

It was a great place to get a technical refresh and gain familiarity with cloud provider service offerings and niche database solutions.

Cons

My team and I had issues getting paid on commissions.

There is no transparency in the process.

We had to wait over 8 months to get $20K that was contractually obligated, but they failed to pay.

The senior management is focused on cost-saving initiatives and cares little for employee well-being.

The West Coast, in particular, is understaffed and overworked.

If you are female, you are paid less than your male counterparts.

There is very little representation of females to men in the sales organization.

People are leaving right and left due to the toxic nature of the management team.

The senior management is stuck on how things were when they were individual contributors and fails to grasp how the markets, products, number of competitors, and space have changed.

Issues were raised to senior levels of management and HR, and HR only supports the toxic managers.

There is no room for growth in the role or within the division unless you want to become a Sales Rep.

Advice to Management

Focus on employee well-being. Trust the regional managers. Pay the employees their market value.
