Pros

-Breakfast served on Mondays, beer and pizza on Fridays

Cons

-Unfair commission structure: changed structure to ideally earn more sales for the company while devaluing each individual's ability to develop their sales skills; change made after employees agreed on signing the contract based on a previous commission structure -Lack of management structure: minimal skills training for employees with high demands; not encouraged to learn more about the product but to make calls like a machine -Pressure to work overtime without pay: discouraged from taking breaks and leaving work on time -Lack of professionalism: late to communicate when employees were fired, allowing remaining team to worry about job security, allowed gossip to seep through the team and create a toxic work environment -Pressured to reach quotas through "power hours" where employees were required to be on the phones for a straight hour to make calls and push sales through aggressive tactics

We apprecite the review. As we always mention during our weekly coaching sessions, we want to hear all feedback face to face. Nothing is off limits. We regret that you never brought up any of this to us directly. We would like to clarify some of the claims made below. While your feedback is really appreciated, it is not all entirely accurate. Please feel free to contact us anytime if you would like to discuss our response (we mean it, we will listen!). 1. Commission structure has been identical during your 3 month tenure at TapMango. However, we are proud to say our updated compensation structure which we developed 6 months ago has increased the total payout to each Business Development representative. This included salary increases after achieving a certain number of sales, weekly, and monthly monetary bonuses, weekly team outings, as well as trips to Mexico for very attainable goals. 2. Regarding training, we are proud of our 2 week intensive training which involves our own training deck, over a dozen sales exercises which were developed in TapMango by our own team, lengthy training on our 5 most popular industries, training on our competitors, objection handling seminars and more. Yes- we find helpful (and usually funny) youtube videos to add variety- but saying there is minimal training is unfair to the 2 week session you were a part of. We also offer weekly coaching sessions, and they can be as often as everyday if you just ask for it. 3. We have never asked anyone to work overtime. We always remind representatives to schedule all work during work hours. 4. We will never disclose the reason of a termination of an employee to respect their privacy - and we do not announce their departure until all details are finalized. In addition, we are known for having one of the most tight-knit, friendly, and kind team that any startup could ask for. 5. We do have power hour at 10:30 and 3:30. The only requirement is to try your best and be present. To the original poster, or if anyone viewing this would like to clarify any details on our work practices, please give us a call, ask for a visit, or to speak to a representative. We want to be as straightforward as possible. Thank you!

Pros

Extremely relaxed culture, not that demanding, easy quota to hit, friendly management.

Cons

Honestly, it's a junk product. It's not needed. Everyone does it, including the point-of-sale systems that they integrate with. Horrible benefits, the worst of the worst, absolutely terrible.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your contributions during your time with us. We're genuinely glad to hear that you valued our culture. Creating a supportive, people-first environment is something we invest in intentionally, and it means a lot to know that comes through! While we understand this role wasn't the right fit, we're proud to stand behind the value our product delivers. Thousands of merchants trust our platform daily, and the revenue growth and customer retention results we've helped them achieve speak to a real and ongoing need in the market. We're always evolving our offering and how we support our teams in communicating it. Your comments about benefits and development are heard. We are committed to ongoing improvement of our total rewards package, and we recognize that supporting our Sales team with more structured coaching and development planning is an area worth continued focus. Thank you again for the honest feedback. We wish you nothing but success ahead.
