Ventajas

Loved working with some of the most brilliant people I've ever met. Everyone was passionate about delivering excellent trainings, and the camaraderie and culture was invigorating for a while. Had a good relationship with managers and the head of courseware that made me feel valued for my skills.

Desventajas

Top-down communication throughout the company was abysmal at times. A frustrating lack of transparency with no apparent motivation for it - confused why news or upcoming projects were so rarely broadcast, especially if it affected part time people down the line. Right around the time they had to let a lot of people go was also when there was a push (in particular by the CEO) to embrace genAI, and a few of us part time hires felt like we were gradually being pushed out of the picture to be replaced by chatgpt and other AI tools. Also a frustrating amount cliquey team vibes were beginning to show near the end of my time there. Some successful teams would look after their own and stonewall any new hires brought into their team space, leaving some hires out in the cold with dead projects and no growth potential, while the successful teams stuck to each other and kept becoming the cultural "heart" of the courseware team. In a phrase, things got very "office politics" after a while and it left me burnt out and frustrated.

Ventajas

The work is flexible, always interesting topics to write about. Great coworkers. Flexible hours. Overall a great experience.

Desventajas

Not always enough work to keep employees busy. It's the nature of the industry that there are busy times and less busy times. Lack of consistency was frustrating.

Ventajas

This review focuses on the sales team and executive leadership. If you hit or get close to your quota, you’ll enjoy a well-paid, flexible work-life balance.

Desventajas

Leadership is not loyal to the employees who helped build their business. Multiple rounds of layoffs over the past year have resulted in the termination of high-performing individuals, many of whom had been with the company for over 10 years, with some exceeding 20 years. Severance packages are minimal, far below the Utah state average, regardless of tenure. The CEO is notorious for being very difficult to work with (as noted in multiple previous reviews on this site). Many high-performing salespeople have left due to disagreements with him. It was common to hear him yelling from his corner office. Those closest to the CEO often complain privately about him and would prefer a change in leadership. Advice to potential salespeople: You’ll only be successful at AllenComm if you stroke the CEO’s ego and play his games, resulting in a toxic work environment. Hitting your quota is not sufficient, and loyalty is not rewarded. While the pay is great and the job offers flexibility if you perform well, you should consider the potential personal cost. I recommend asking current salespeople about their experiences during the interview process—they will likely be candid with you. When I started all talent was in-house, with over one hundred employees. The company is now a shell of its former self, relying heavily on contractors and offshore partners. Most of the office desks sit empty.
