Pros

-Great first job right out of college/Good resume builder -Good working atmosphere with similar aged co-workers, ability to meet post-work friends. -Being an industry leader is a plus and this also allows you to have great resources. -Overall very casual atmosphere and casual dress code.

Cons

-You quickly realize there is a huge equality gap between the top reps and the lower-rung reps. -Not an exciting industry, you're selling something every carrier needs, but whether or not yours is good enough. -The uncontrollable variables which can pull money out of your pocket are extremely frustrating in this industry. Ridiculously high level of patience is a must. -Long hours without regular increases in salary are extremely deflating. -If you are satisfied with being on the phone all day with very few breaks from your desk than this is a perfect position for you. -A bachelor's degree required for a job most high school graduates could accomplish. -Poor communication between management and employees makes for a very confusing and identity lacking experience. -High turnover makes for an unstable work environment. -Fear of ridicule from peers or management when wanting to take time off. -Like most people have posted, the "flat" organizational structure makes it very tough to remain motivated day after day. -Before you start earning commission you are making a very "modest" salary especially for the location of the office. -Office atmosphere definitely has the feeling of being in a shark tank.

Pros

Opportunity to earn a decent amount of money. Good benefits, great training program, fast paced and fun atmosphere for those that fit in.

Cons

Very flat organization with limited opportunity to work your way up. Selling a product that everybody has and nobody is satisfied with. Distribution of accounts seems a little unfair at times, in a sink or swim atmosphere, it seems tough to float with management's boot on your head.
