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

Not many cons. People are really cool.

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
