Pros

- Great coworkers - Good product -Good CEO

Cons

This is not coming from someone who’s been screwed over or not performing. 100% unbiased. - Base is way too low. $50k-60k for AE1-AE3 - OTE is not enticing. If you’re an AE1 your OTE is 36,000 (fully ramped / 75k quota). They’ll try to sell you on accelerators but there’s very few who actually hit them. - The product is great but it’s not a need to have. HR usually doesn’t have the budget for the product. - Inbound leads are hard to come by and if they do, they’re not a great. Sales and Marketing departments don’t work well together. - Training and development is terrible. The onboarding process is you setting up a Demo account and that’s practically it. New external AE’s come in and they’re practically left to learn it all themselves. Very hard to promote as well. - Great people BUT bad culture. Extreme nepotism & favoritism. It’s clear who their favorites are. There’s a lot of AE’s who fake their numbers because of this year’s self-source incentive. Culture has gone down hill in 2023. - Bad leadership: Our VP keeps saying, “We’re cut throat now” and “there’s going to be changes.” We’re struggling to hit our numbers and majority of AE’s don’t hit. All the help the AE’s have got is, “work harder, call more” “You need to buy in.” Also, they set the new expectation to be in seat from 8 a.m-5 p.m even though the leaders are not to be seen or leave at 3 everyday. - Benefits are very poor. Everyone has complained but nothing has been done about it.

Pros

I genuinely love most people I work with. They are good people. The company mission is something I believe in and the potential for the company to make a positive impact on the world is still there

Cons

Toxic environment due to inexperienced leadership, rampant nepotism, and a toxic "boys club" mentality reminiscent of high school. Top-performing reps' unethical and mean girl behavior is overlooked, while high performers are underpaid. Financial resources are squandered without meaningful returns. The recent transition to a 5-day work week isn't the core issue; it's the result of a poorly executed rollout, demonstrating a lack of consideration for the employees it impacts. The CEO though appearing caring, is out of touch due to the company's growth. He relies on senior leadership for updates, but it's apparent they aren't keeping him informed. This secrecy serves to shield their incompetence and unethical behavior. This disconnect has workplace problems, fostering a culture of frustration and demoralization. The urgent need for transparency, accountability, and a culture shift within Awardco is more than obvious

Pros

Free snacks and soda in the break room is nice.

Cons

Unless you were hired before 2021, you can’t succeed at this company, on the sales floor. The “tenured” reps, who have never worked anywhere else before, are given priority leads, and use underhanded tactics to steal leads from every one else. Then if anyone calls them out, or tried to draw leaderships attention to it, they are told they aren’t being a team player, and aren’t thinking of the greater good. The VP of Sales in an all-hands sales meeting, admitted that he had his 8 favorite reps, that he’ll do anything to make them succeed. But that’s what happens when your only experience before being a VP is being an entry level sdr at an actually successful tech company. Every quarter there was some new “tactic” that needed to be taken in order to win business, but nothing actually happened. The VP of sales is more interested in doing onsites with his favorite reps than dedicating time to helping any new reps. For example, they asked reps to start adding them to more calls, which people did, only to find out he would join, work on something else on his laptop (which was obvious to everyone in the meeting, including the clients) say 1 sentence, if you were lucky, then rush out for some other meeting he had. Completely pointless.
