Pros

It's great to work in sales for an Industry leader, they also have a great AI product and pays their employees well - especially if you're a top performer. There's also a lot of flexibility - if you are striving for work-life balance, you can achieve that. If you want to make as much money as possible, there are ways to do that as well. Whatever motivates you, there is opportunity for that at Birdeye. The company is also growing very quickly making it a great place for career advancement and opportunity.

Cons

Company is growing into the "large" arena. It's also a very competitive environment - so depending on your tastes and performance it may or may not be a good thing - i.e. if you're a lazy person with little ambition, this is not the place for you.

Remote working, $40 a month for home wifi, good product

Cons

I strongly recommend avoiding it if you want to make real money or feel supported. The sales culture is toxic. Management relies on pressure, fear, and PIPs instead of coaching or fixing root problems. I watched strong reps go through unnecessary PIPs. In most cases, it wasn’t about effort or skill. It was because deals are extremely hard to close and territories are weak. Compensation is poor. Quotas feel disconnected from reality. Even with solid activity and pipeline, closing business is nearly impossible. You end up working nonstop for very little return. Leadership does not care about individual reps. You are treated as disposable. There is no real concern for burnout, morale, or fairness. If numbers aren’t there, you’re blamed, regardless of market conditions or product positioning. A small group of long-tenured reps do well. They receive the best inbound leads and deals that actually have a chance of closing. Most others are left fighting uphill battles with little support. The product is fine, but it’s a “nice to have,” not mission-critical. You’re essentially selling Google reviews and reputation management at a premium price. Competitors like Reputation, Chatmeter, Yext, SEMrush, and Marqii are often cheaper and easier for buyers to justify. This leads to constant closed-lost deals and endless explanations to management. Morale across the AE team is low. Most reps are miserable. Turnover is high for a reason. If you value earnings, fairness, or being treated like a human, look elsewhere.
