Pros
-great place to network with younger people just moving to the city -good stepping stone in between college and a real sales job. Can spend a year here training and networking then leverage your year of cold call experience elsewhere -wear whatever you'd like -free drinks -motel bar in the lobby
Cons
-unlimited pto is a front. Just a way to not pay you out on it when you inevitably leave -incompetent and unmotivated management starting at the top. Very disheartening to see how little management cares about the customer or employees. -slow moving bureaucratic org structure. As a developer or someone who wants their ideas to be heard, this is not the place to be -commissions are bad but the base salary and career path for sales reps are even worse. Not a living wage in Chicago -you will be required to work late every night in sales -management operates under the belief that people are more motivated by fear of losing their job as opposed to a reward -you have to accept the fact from day one that you're replaceable. You will be reminded of this by your sales manager frequently. "There's 100s of hungry reps begging for your seat downstairs in training if you don't want to fall in line" is the theme
