Pros

-The people that you work with make the job so what worth coming to. Its always nice to have people to complain about the work with. -Free Vitamin Water/Coffee/Hot chocolate. -10 min walk from the brown line for us northsiders. - was leaving work everyday at 5 oclock, and you get one hour of overtime pay if you need If you love to smile while you are dialing (80-100 dials daily) THIS is the job for you!

Cons

Hmmmm what shall I start with first? - as a GOB rep we got " leads". This is false, we were calling the worst possible business you could think of. You know that one creepy book store in your home town the no on will every go to? Yup you are calling that place tomorrow, those are the types of leads you get. -Working with managers was impossible to get deals approved. So many business would lose interest when we had to be so picky on what we would offer them. -West Chicago Ave is not the best area in the area. Sometimes saftey was an issues when going to work

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
