Pros

-The paid paid vacation is nice but the con is that it's taxed so instead of $2000 you get around $1200-$1400. Still nice but kind of annoying. -People are nice

Cons

-Low pay. A lot of other comments address this issue and I'll address it as well. Yes, you give awesome benefits but you cannot count that as part of our pay. They say things like, "You make $38,000 a year but if you include your benefits like medical, dental, your paid-paid vacation, etc., you're actually making $60,000 a year!" No... I'm making $38,000 a year. Your benefits are nice but they aren't a part of my salary and it's not like they're just included, I still have to pay for those benefits each month. I've never been with a company that adds your salary and benefits as a whole. -Their company cultue is... Different... and it comes off as culty. - Not a huge fan of management. Several people in upper management are closed off and aren't very open to feedback. - They are putting more and more responsibilities on support reps while keeping pay the same. -They're structure for giving raises is ridiculous. -I was told I could grow with this company and I have been working hard at keeping my metrics high to no avail. Even if your metrics are high, you have good attendance, and you help with projects, it's not enough. I'm no longer looking to GROW here, I'm looking for another job.

Pros

If you’re complacent with being told what to do and are OK with the pay, you will be OK working here

Cons

There might not be enough space for what I have to say. Management is full of narcissist. Little to no accountability or responsibility from management. Management job is supposed to be helping the team and supporting them and learning the job which they extremely lack in. If you are OK with having someone tell you how to do your job that doesn’t know how to do your job then, you’re in luck. When the team was failing to hit quota, their solution was to keep it the same while calling the BDR‘s complacent. Management also failed to recognize that reps were obtaining quota only through going to events. A work colleague of mine gave feedback in a meeting and was later criticized for providing feedback. After that meeting, he was told not to speak up in a meeting like that. Yet they say they welcome feedback. Management finds time to do things that don’t benefit the team or add extra task to their plate. The organization also loves pointless meetings that can be summarized in two short sentences. My last piece is that the team has a mutual feeling about management and suckers up to them because they are playing the . Bamboo fails to recognize their weaknesses and if they managed to succeed, I would be impressed with how it’s been ran.
