Pros

Everyone has said it, but the people here are great, you can make some great friends and it's a very casual atmosphere. If you take the initiative, you can work on other cool projects, but you are on your own.

Cons

Internal management is terrible. I felt that some sales managers had a great potential to actually help you grow, but they were forced to follow metrics that served as a blanket for the whole sales floor. Also there's a high turnover rate of managers leads to little mentoring for reps. It's typical to have a different manager every 3-4 mos Job security is pretty terrible. "Water cooler chats" are centered around who got fired, what warning level you are at, and what you can do to hit minimums so you don't advance your warning level. This leads to a very negative work environment

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
