Pros

Free coffee, vitamin water, soda Good health benefits Great training Still informal compared to other corporations The changes keep you on your feet ( it can be a good or bad thing)

Cons

Long hours Weak commission No career advancement 90% of the day is on the phone, begging to sign a contract It's all a numbers game (granted it's a public company and that's what is need) a threshold with dials, minutes on the phone, contracts per day...You're evaluated daily, weekly, and monthly which puts a lot of pressure on the employees Changes in goal change every month and has been increasing. I've never been in a sales environment where the changes are ambiguous each month rather than quarter

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
