Pros

You will work with some cool and highly intelligent co workers, and meet some amazing customers.

Kontras

There is genuinely nothing positive to say about this company based on their existing leadership. Run as fast as you can, and do not let them con you into thinking this will be a healthy place for you to work, or a great place for you to grow. Any positive perks you hear about are entirely smoke & mirrors, or ideas they've stolen from former employees or network connections to now claim as their own. At Sales Assembly, you are heavily overworked, massively underappreciated, and entirely expendable. This is a very small company (~10 employees give or take) and your sole goal once hired will be to work yourself into the ground to make their CEO and CRO rich. Work/Life balance? Absolutely not - and this is consistent across all departments. Instead, you will be expected to work nearly all hours of the day based on unending, unrealistic workloads. When you try to push back, the CEO himself will shame you by making comments that either insult your intelligence or gaslight you; the most common are "this should be easy for you" and "this really shouldn't take much time." Expect unplanned calls, emails, or texts anytime between 4am-midnight regardless of your role in the company. When the CEO has an idea, most often one that was presented by someone else, he has no boundaries when it comes to making you immediately execute on whatever vision is in his head, regardless of your capacity based on other projects & priorities. A quick search on LinkedIn will show you that Sales Assembly's current c-suite is essentially a couple of frauds. I was continually disappointed by how poor, misguided, and often clueless their executive "leadership" was, and realized that these guys have almost no experience in either management or sales prior to starting this company. Contrary to what you see in several self-righteous LinkedIn posts, they get by from hiring brilliant employees who are actually familiar in the space, and then profit from their work and ideas. Let it be known that the existing executive team is the problem, whereas the employees they hire are truly excellent - some of the hardest, kindest, most brilliant workers. But, everyone is expendable without any kind of notice or indication that something is wrong. Unless you have a direct manager, you receive no formal training or onboarding upon being hired. And, if you aren't living up to some expectation that hasn't been properly communicated, they will quietly hire your replacement and fire you without notice. Very few hires last beyond a year. Last but certainly not least, do not expect to receive the compensation they initially share with you. They buffer in lofty, unrealistic projections to make your compensation package look much sweeter than it ever will be. All in all, the concept of this company has a lot of promise, but the founders and c-suite make it insufferable. Ask any of the bunch who've left over the last couple of years - they'll give you the same feedback. Save yourself, your health, and your sanity - do not work here!

Pros

The team and people you work with at Sales Assembly are about as good as it gets. Not only have the founders built an incredible team that punches above their weight, they’ve helped build one of the best communities out there. It was a unique opportunity to learn from great people at hundreds of different orgs. I also loved the vision that the team has been piecing together. They are solving a big problem and doing it in a unique way.

Kontras

If you’re looking to join the team one thing you have to keep in mind is that this is a small, bootstrapped team. For some people that’s a pro, others it’s a con. If you’re used to a bigger org it’ll be an adjustment. The team definitely runs lean and to be successful you’ll need to be a self starter. The last thing I’d say is that things do “change” a lot, at least while I was there. I thing the team does a pretty good job of keeping you in the loop but you still need to stay on top of it.

Pros

Closing skill gaps is a problem I truly believe needs to be solved. The clients you get to work with is by far the best part of being an employee at Sales Assembly. You also are working alongside a great team of people who care deeply about each other and their clients. My role ended up not being the best fit for a few reasons. I was supported on my way out beyond expectations.

Kontras

It sounds like there was a toxic leader who left earlier this year. We did not overlap much but I know they poached an employee on the way out. Things change A LOT. Too often sometimes. Expectations can be clearer and communication can be better. For such a small company with a limited number of resources I know they are doing the best they can.
