Pros

- Opportunities for commission - Occasional drinks/food/events - Feels good to be part of something bigger when attending team-wide meetings

Cons

- Low pay; not a competitive graduate salary as advertised - Promises unfulfilled; where they say they will answer queries post redundancy, you receive the same short script they gave you on the day - No formal training as a graduate, unless you take on the extra work of an eighteen-month apprenticeship - Bad office culture; no one making calls on the sales floor is demotivating and doesn't inspire work
