Pros

The people here are great to work with. Everyone is very friendly and supportive. The sales manager was amazing to work with. He genuinely cares about your success and will take the time to help you get your pitch on track. The team leads were also great at providing constructive feedback and helping you to improve.

Cons

The company itself lacks any real vision and leadership. It is not as it might appear on the surface. They claim to have 7000+ customers but the numbers just don’t add up because if this were true the company would be at-least 4x the size it is now. In fact, when I was there they were losing a lot of customers every month. The product itself is not great. While they spend a lot of time boasting about features the technology behind it is not very impressive. For a “technology” company that only has a couple developers this should be an obvious red flag. Most of the people that work there are in a sales role. Their dashboard for companies to manage their rewards program is awful and looks extremely dated. They lack the structure of a typical start-up tech company. No product managers, no UX/UI designers, no agile development process. Just a couple of devs and QA’s. To me this is an indication that this company will eventually burn out unless they make a drastic change in leadership. Lastly, the way the role was portrayed in the recruitment process did not match with the reality. For example, I was told that it would be a 50/50 outbound and inbound sales role. The reality is that the sales were 100% outbound, more in-line with a BDR role except a full-cycle sale (from cold call to demo to close). Even AE’s who had been there for a year were still only doing outbound sales. The only people receiving inbound leads were the team leads. Also, what they told me to expect in terms of monthly deals did not match with the reality of what their more seasoned reps were achieving (minus the team leads). Because of this the earning potential is not that high even if you are a top performer. Not bad for a first real sales job but you’re probably better off being a BDR at a more reputable company. Don’t buy into the start-up hype because it is not real.

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

Free food and snacks are available when wanted. Direct Team Leads are very good people to work with, and are focused on improving you to the best of their ability. HR is easily accessible, and are fast acting.

Cons

Overall, working at TapMango was a very negative experience for me. If you start here, expect very little to no training, and to be put on the phones right away. The product you are selling is incredibly confusing, as there are a multitude of features that you are expected to sell to a client without actually sounding like a "salesperson". Management does not give support, as they only track KPI's and do not factor in the quality of the numbers, nor how they were achieved. They only care that you hit those numbers. If you are struggling, expect to be given different advice each time you are spoken to. Even after implementing suggestions, management will not give you a chance to improve, and will instead come down on you right away and expect immediate results. Management is terrible at handling employees, and displays heavy favouritism. Inept handling of employees led to four new hires being fired in humiliating fashion in front of the entire company, with no acknowledgment by management until a week after. Communication from management is not forthright, they will mislead you, and go back on their word after multiple assurances. Software that the company utilizes to handle leads is flawed and they do not provide tools that allow you to succeed.

It's unfortunate to see someone have an overall negative experience, and we wish you all the best in your next role. Here is our perspective; 1. Training and coaching- we have a sales training course and coaching style that we have been enhancing for the last 7 years, and it helped over 60 TapMango professionals, including members from your hiring class, hit and exceed targets every day. While we are always asking for feedback to improve training, we also ask that everyone takes personal responsibility to make the most out of training and take personal responsibility to show results from these resources, which our team is excellent at doing. 2. Sell without selling- it's true, we don't want our team to be salesy or pushy, ever. Our customers deserve a stress free experience when learning about TapMango and we have always achieved our sales goals without getting "salesy" as we call it. Once honing that style, our team really loves that style and never want to go back. 3. Confusing product- we are sorry to hear you found the product confusing. It is robust with many moving parts, but it's extremely easy to use and work with- we are very proud of what our software has to offer. 4. Favoritism- The TapMango team is filled with extremely tight friendships, and that is why we are careful that we don't let those friendships dictate any promotion or opportunity. The vast majority of our hires are not from inside connections, and we always measure promotions against objective numbers, kpi's, and get everyone's buy in to ensure objective treatment for everybody. We have every reason to want everyone to succeed, and if we displayed favoritism, it would be a terrible business decision, and a bad moral decision. 5. Our managers and team leads deserve more credit.. They have successfully trained and grew over 60 employees who are doing excellent work every day, and many who have been with TapMango since the very beginning.
