Pros

Being with others your own age, flexible schedule, party-like atmosphere

Cons

Soooo many long hours sitting that many develop physical problems. Taking too many legitimate sick days (a killer flu) gets you in trouble, though you have a doctor's note. Some employees who were bumped up to manager status in the hiring blitz have no idea what they're doing. One is known to have admitted she "doesn't like people" and avoid most of her staff, except her favorites.

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
