Pros

1) Good first job to build your resume. 2) You get to participate in company trips as well as dinners in places like The Palm. 3) You get rewards such as gift cards and alcohol.

Cons

1) No HR department which makes no sense given the company is looking to hit 1000 employees. 2) Hostile work environment (drama, harassment, and so on). 3) Low pay, especially compared to most average sales position. 4) Lack of leadership with no clear direction. 5) Management asks everyone to make 150 CPMs (calls per minute) everyday even though cold calling takes a lot of effort and can drain a ton of energy especially if you have other responsibilities to handle. 6) CEO is a bit of a nut. 7) The parking issue continues to grow worse as the company continues to grow. 8) No commissions for deals you bring in.

Pros

I am a remote renewals specialist and I really, really like it. A friend of mine recommended the company to me and I am extremely happy! The remote position is great. You truly do work from home. They send you everything that you need - computer, headset, monitors, docking station, and a phone. They give you 4 weeks of introductory training of the company as a whole - I thought the training was very well laid out, and then you get assigned to a specific team. After that you will receive team specific training. Everyone I have worked with so far has been great! They even flew all the remote specialists in for a conference at the headquarters for a couple of days so everyone could meet, and it was a lot of fun. They took care of everything - hotel, flights, dinner, swag, lunches - you name it - it was such a great experience. This is truly a real job - you get salary and vacation. The work day is 8:30-5:30 M-F.

Pros

They provide you with a lot of perks like a company trip, happy hours, and random gifts like an iPad for no reason

Cons

You are constantly micromanaged, it is a lot like a "glorified sweatshop", it is beyond clique-y, you're expected to work 9 hour days for wages that are insulting low, the office is a mess - there isn't even enough parking for employees, there is no HR department which should definitely be illegal, honestly there is really nothing good
