Pros

- Fun, casual culture - "Unlimited" PTO (within reason) - Decent benefits - Everyone is young, educated and in the same boat (in customer service); the work itself sucks, but there's a "we're all in this together" attitude which makes it easier - Direct managers (in CS) are generally very friendly and accommodating - After the CEO was fired, things are looking better

Cons

- Tedious job (customer service) - Very little room to grow: only a small number of employees are given the opportunity to advance (within the CS department) and it's generally based on seniority - Relatively high turnover rate - The vast majority of CS Reps have a very negative attitude about anything related to the job, which can be depressing - Very poor communication internally - Processes and policies change every 3-4 months; you have to be able to quickly adapt to completely new procedures with little training

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
