Pros

High payout ability if you are a good salesman

Cons

All they care about in CCP role is that you ask the "fries with that" question to offer up sales and cross sales on EVERY CALL. If you are not conformable with selling for the sake of selling because your job depends on it, look elsewhere.

Pros

Great culture, great people, opportunities to build a career

Cons

Your experience is completely dependent on your team. I think it's a great company to work for, but once my team stopped being supportive of the team as a whole it became unbearable. Work/life balance is talked about a lot as a positive, but I worked late a lot of the time. I worked too much for a place that compensates below your market value. Leadership on my team become non-existent, they cared more about their success then the teams.
