Pros

Pretty competitive base (Little to no commission though)

Cons

I am not one to leave reviews like this. Please heed my word! - CEO is a control freak - There is no culture - Since the CEO is a control freak, it garners a very odd feeling in the office and everyone is willing to snitch on each other because there's a big brother is watching feeling To give background on this whole thing too, the company started with two brothers and they were initially an insurance brokerage that became successful and sold the company to the fund this HR tech company. Well out of the two brothers, the one that had zero sales skills and zero leadership skills decided to be the one to start BerniePortal. I was there for 2 years and to say this was the least serious sales job I ever had would be an understatement. We would have weekly meetings, if you even can call them that, where middle management would show us our KPI's, what we want to hit etc, but none of it really mattered because 95% of the meeting wouldn't be strategy focused and everyone would just screw around. I don't even blame the other sales people or management though because any potential and effective change we could've made was always shot down by the CEO. The platform itself was also the worst in the industry and made for very cheap in India, so there was a massive disadvantage on that front as well. All in all, this place is a nightmare and you want to stay as far away from it as you can. No amount of money should persuade anyone into accepting any role here. I could go on and on about insane scenarios at this company, but if I did so, I would never get around to posting this because it would be never ending. All I say is please don't be the person to be like "oh well all these former employees are just mad and bitter", because that is not the case. Look at all the posts. Most are negative and have a similar common denominator.

Pros

None, if you value your mental health or professional development.

Cons

The CEO fosters a culture defined by fear, excessive control, and an overwhelming sense of paranoia. There is little to no empathy shown toward employees. For example, during hazardous weather conditions, the office remains open and staff are expected to commute—remote work is actively discouraged, with desktop computers issued to make working from home nearly impossible (unless you're a developer with very narrow responsibilities). Micromanagement is the norm, and it borders on dysfunctional. All calls are reviewed, transcripts are scrutinized line-by-line, and failure to follow a rigid script results in disciplinary conversations. You're expected to work 10-hour days until you recite the script to perfection—even when it clearly leads to awkward, unnatural conversations. Ironically, we were made to watch bad calls and told, "this is how it's done." Constructive feedback is not welcomed. Expressing concerns about team morale or retention is treated as a personal failing. There's an unspoken expectation of blind loyalty, which discourages honesty and authentic leadership. Turnover is alarmingly high. None of my onboarding cohort remains at the company. The workplace culture drives people out quickly and silently. Strategic decisions often appear ego-driven rather than informed by data or reality. Burnout is pervasive, and instead of being addressed, it's dismissed as a "lack of commitment."
