Pros
This review focuses on the sales team and executive leadership. If you hit or get close to your quota, you’ll enjoy a well-paid, flexible work-life balance.
Kontras
Leadership is not loyal to the employees who helped build their business. Multiple rounds of layoffs over the past year have resulted in the termination of high-performing individuals, many of whom had been with the company for over 10 years, with some exceeding 20 years. Severance packages are minimal, far below the Utah state average, regardless of tenure. The CEO is notorious for being very difficult to work with (as noted in multiple previous reviews on this site). Many high-performing salespeople have left due to disagreements with him. It was common to hear him yelling from his corner office. Those closest to the CEO often complain privately about him and would prefer a change in leadership. Advice to potential salespeople: You’ll only be successful at AllenComm if you stroke the CEO’s ego and play his games, resulting in a toxic work environment. Hitting your quota is not sufficient, and loyalty is not rewarded. While the pay is great and the job offers flexibility if you perform well, you should consider the potential personal cost. I recommend asking current salespeople about their experiences during the interview process—they will likely be candid with you. When I started all talent was in-house, with over one hundred employees. The company is now a shell of its former self, relying heavily on contractors and offshore partners. Most of the office desks sit empty.
