Pros

Base pay is fair, medical insurance is fair, company is good about paying mileage. Work schedule is fair.

Cons

Management is well below par. Extremely unprofessional, plays favorites, if you speak up they will make your life hell, they will get you out period. People who can actually contribute positive / good feedback to management don't you dare because if you do managment will take you as a threat, how dare you say something that management has not said or able to take credit for themselves in order to make them look good in front of their bosses. Your clients don't mean anything in regards to when they will feature. Managment will feature a deal based on total revenue opportunity regardless of what the merhcant thinks after the merchant has been waiting 3 month's to be featured. The company is ran on "Short term results, get paid today, worry about tomorrow, many tomorrow's down the road. This is NOT a long-term client relationship business model. Management cannot treat their merchants like "2nd Class" and expect to continue to get repeat business. The small amount of merchants they do have to feature you will see them appear 3 to 4 time's a year. Nothing new with this company & the client will notice quickly, which I'm sure they already have.

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
