Avolution was recently acquired by a private investment firm solely focused on short-term growth and a future sale. This shift has created an environment with zero stability and an overwhelming obsession with short-term ARR and new logo acquisition—often at the expense of ethics and basic respect for employees.
I was a Sales Executive responsible for all of North America. Despite being on track to exceed my annual quota just three months into the year—with a $250K deal closed and another multi-year agreement confirmed on the same day—I was terminated 30 minutes after receiving verbal confirmation of the second deal. The reason given? “Performance.” When I asked how that made sense given my results, I was told, “It’s not all about revenue.”
Let’s be honest—it was never about performance. It was about politics, control, and protecting the VP of America, who is both unqualified and dishonest. She has no background in sales but insists on micromanaging every aspect of the sales process. Her leadership style is based on outdated "customer is always right" logic, which might work in retail but doesn’t translate well to high-level enterprise sales. She has no ability to coach or inspire a team—only to critique, control, and take credit.
Worse still, a manager (connected to the deal internally) deliberately took over an opportunity I had been working on for over a year, claiming it “wasn’t assigned” to me—even though it clearly was, and I was nearing a close before their budget was frozen the previous year. This same manager ran with the deal behind my back, essentially stealing commission worth thousands of dollars.
To make matters worse, when a previous rep was let go, the company honored the deals they had worked to close. In my case? Nothing. No payout. Just silence.
If you're considering working here, be aware: you’re stepping into a culture of micromanagement, manipulation, and complete disregard for fairness. High performance won’t save you. Loyalty won’t matter. And your success will be exploited, not celebrated.
