Pros

Remote, unlimited pto, health benefits, wellness days

Cons

Complex tools, products and processes. It's mostly all cold calling which is a grind. Morale is at all time low across entire department. Quotas change mid month. No career opportunities... at all. 99% of sdrs have been sdrs for years with no advancement but we're treated like it's an entry level role

There is an openness to new ideas, technologies, and ways of working, which creates an environment where you feel encouraged to learn, experiment, and grow. Overall, it’s a great place to start a career, especially if you’re looking for a combination of professional development, supportive culture, and forward thinking mindset.

Processes often take more time to move forward.
