Atlanta,GA This is the worst place I’ve ever worked. EVER. - I would only suggest this role to a recent college grad or someone who is fresh into sales. Get the title of “Account Manager”, do a year, and get OUT. Go somewhere better and with FAIR pay. - Base pay is $50K, but will drop down to $30K after 15 months. They expect you to be able to make up the difference in commission by then. Possibly attainable, but if the economy is in a downturn, you will not be given any leeway, sympathy, or an extension. - You are essentially doing the job of two people for half the pay. You are your own SDR. You cold call, set your own meetings, and close your own deals. You do everything yourself. - Management is a joke and a half. The main manager is new and his only focus is on proving himself. He only cares about numbers. He also has no life or family in the area, so his life IS work. That’s the worst kind of boss. His direct report is a spineless “Yes Man”. He cares about his people, but at the end of the day he’s a kiss a** and will throw you under the bus if necessary. He has issues being direct as well. -CEO is also a joke. Don’t expect to get any real questions answered during all hands call. He ignores the ones that he knows people won’t like the answer to. - There is an astounding lack of diversity in management and as a whole in the office. There are zero women in leadership—unless you count the fake “promotions” they give people. They like to make up new titles and give people more work without actually paying them more. People of color beware. It’s a culture full of micro aggressions. -Absolutely atrocious turnover. Yes, they will fire you if you don’t pass the final test of their three month “training”. I implore you not to stop job hunting until that’s over. BUT, turnover of “newish” people aside, things got so bad while I was there that even the most tenured folks left. Their top AE of over 18 years? They screwed him over, so he left. There were about 6 other tenured people that quit as well. - The reviews on Google are fake. If you look up the names on LinkedIn, you will see that most of the positive reviews are from people who worked there internally. We were asked to pad the reviews by management. My final word of advice? Take the job. But once your 15 months are approaching start looking elsewhere. Since you’ll have the title of account manager under your belt, it’ll be easier for you to find other roles with much higher pay and much better culture.
