Pros

In this economic climate, I would only recommend this job to recent college graduates who are still supported by their families.

Cons

To be successful, you must work evening and weekends, while making at least 200 prospecting phone calls per week. Your odds of being successful in this career, characterized by heavy atrition rate, are less than 50%.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
