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.

Pros

I love Awardco's product and mission. Working here gives you a lot of perks, including: points to spend on our platform, recognition, delta-suite tickets, ERG opportunities, two free meals a week (and the catering is fantastic!), a fun and clean building, and endless snacks.

Cons

With all the perks mentioned, I can tell that they care about their employees - but only to a certain extent. They really push for in-office work, when a lot of what we do can 100% be done from the comfort of our own home. The push for in-office work can feel micromanagey and like they do not trust their employees to be productive outside of the office. It feels a lot like a performance and like "oh, who is in their seat before 9 and after 5 each day?" The push in the department that promotions aren't given to people that are competent, but to people who have won over a good perception from their coworkers. It feels very very performative, like you already know who is going to get the promotion based on who is the most extroverted and butt-kisser in the group.
