Pros

- The employees are great - they do a very good job recruiting awesome people - Company is growing and has just recently merged with 2 others - Good supportive culture where asking questions and for help is encouraged. - Product is needed in the market

Cons

- SDR basepay is $10K below the national average with only a $40K a year base - Commission structure is small. Majority of SDR qualified meetings only pay out $50 per meeting and you do not get money on the first 2 meetings booked each month - Quota is achieved by a small percentage of reps. In the past year there has only been 1 month when over 30% of fully ramped reps have achieved quota and that was only 33%. - Low pay and low achievement means a lot of turnover - majority of SDRs have been at ArchiveSocial for 6 months or less. And that's not because of folks being promoted. People either quit or are fired, but you'll never hear the word "fired." - Even AEs are getting under 50K as a base. - There are a lot of SDRs on PIPs, a lot. People have a better % chance of ending up on a PIP than not.

There are not many cons at ArchiveSocial. The only con would be that I wish we could work in person

Pros

- Lot's of opportunity to grow - Open communication - Leadership is willing to listen, it can sometimes take a few conversations but once you start talking they want your feedback - Growing and scaling company, exciting time to be part of it and see everything grow - Willing to take chances on employees even if their background may not be a perfect fit - Starting to scale the company and the positions we have more (VP level roles, more sales management roles) --> makes the company feel like we're more out of the start up phase, feels more structured

Cons

- Pay is a bit lower than industry standard, I think that with where we're at as a company - Not as many company events because of covid - "Remote friendly" applies to everyone through the end of the year, but after that the options aren't as flexible for all employees --> This should be reconsidered to keep good employees in the company and happy with their work/environment. If people are successful remote and have proven themselves, they should have the choice to do what they want no matter what positions they're in
