many cons:
- CRO is toxic, emotionally abusive, manipulative, unempathetic. worth considering he has a data science background, no experience in sales and sales leadership. have seen him rub customers the wrong way, says 'no' to everything. really not someone you want managing you.
- very high sales attrition. people dont make it past 1 yr. most get fired 3-4 months in, if you're based in the US, you'll be reminded that your european counterparts are cheaper.
- no training. you will be forced to spend half your day building a website, instead of pipeline.
- very long hours. 12 hours is a light day and you're expected to be online/responsive all the time.
-lots of politics. be careful who you share information with. it's cutthroat and theres a lot of back stabbing.
- product has a steep learning curve and is expensive compared to many other options. long sales cycles and very difficult to sell.
