Pros

Young, fun, collaborative work environment Lax dress code

Cons

There seems to be a growing disconnect between sales reps and upper management. Many of the new RVPs and the SVP of sales don't appear to have any prior sales experience, so it's tough for them to manage a sales organization effectively. Goals often seem to be dictated by fluctuations in the stock price, and not grounded in the struggles that sales reps are experiencing on a day to day basis.

Pros

Free coffee, vitamin water, soda Good health benefits Great training Still informal compared to other corporations The changes keep you on your feet ( it can be a good or bad thing)

Cons

Long hours Weak commission No career advancement 90% of the day is on the phone, begging to sign a contract It's all a numbers game (granted it's a public company and that's what is need) a threshold with dials, minutes on the phone, contracts per day...You're evaluated daily, weekly, and monthly which puts a lot of pressure on the employees Changes in goal change every month and has been increasing. I've never been in a sales environment where the changes are ambiguous each month rather than quarter
