Pros

Some cool co-workers. Income potential.

Cons

This job is only for people who are purely money motivated. 100+ calls, 5+ hours of talk time per day. Must get at least 5 people to give you their credit card to start the application per day. If not you will not receive good leads the next day/week/month. Receive reports every ten minutes on every ridiculous sales metric possible ranking how you are doing compared to everybody else. Sit next to your manager and have him listen to every word you say. I did well here and still hated nearly every day. I saw others do not so well and get intimidated and embarrassed by management in front of everyone. This place is a boileroom type atmosphere which runs on fear. The top employees are rewarded for being extremely aggressive and in some cases unethical to their customers. The day I walked out was one of the best days of my life. My current job is so much better and is actually a career. People stay here because they are scared they can't get anything better with this economy.
