Pros

-Casual dress -Vibrant environment -Free breakfast -High performing sales staff awarded with a plethora of benefits; hummer limousines for the evening, designer goods, all expenses paid holidays

Cons

-Work conditions encourage systematic solidering -Expectation to work long hours, failure to adhere is frowned upon and results in lack of job security. This often includes weekends without time off in lieu -All staff considered dispensable -new organisational structure every quarter, staff expect mass redundancies, often palliated by leadership and deemed "growing pains" and have to endure watching their hard-working colleagues being marched out humiliatingly -Lack of guidance from leadership -conflicting messages of strategic direction -Inexperienced leadership -staff either promoted on merit without increase in pay or favouritism -Disgruntled employees, staff turnover could set records -Costs are cut by offloading a former staff member's position to another overworked employee -Negative external perception of company

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
