Pros

Company is friendly to younger people without much experience and has many opportunities for growth. Volunteer culture is not as strong as it once was, but still good. Lots of very talented people work here.

Cons

Company has struggled in recent years, and morale not as good as it once was. Lack of clear direction from upper levels of management. Poor planning of speed to market strategies continually causes issues across the board.

Pros

The corporate operations have a generally healthy and supportive atmosphere. The sales office has a young and upbeat staff with relatively young leaders. Collaboration and support is relatively easy to find.

Cons

Sales is an entirely separate silo, run by a frat boy system of rewarding the most popular, rather than the hardest working. We changed commission structure and sales strategy 4-5 times each in a year and a half.

Pros

Training - This company doesn't ditch on training resources. To this day, more than three years since being in training at Cbeyond, I still remember tactics, presentations, and general sales and IT knowledge gained from course. Culture - It's a sales floor, so yes, there is high pressure, but you should know this when applying for a sales position with quotas; however, the sales managers, team leads, and team mates do the best to make you feel part of the family. The team does well, you'll be enjoying the benefits. Quota Incentives - Aside from the opportunity to gain decent commission, they provide incentives ranging from happy hours, TVs and Ipads, to boating trips and national trips. Networking - Some reps never understood the power of networking until it was too late into their tenure. Understanding the strength of partners and using those strengths to compliment your weaknesses is what will set you apart at Cbeyond.

Cons

Product - At least while I was there, price point was a little higher than main competitors and technology was a bit outdated (T1 has been out for a very, very long time) Micromanagement - Prepare to have your cards and calls counted; however, on a positive side note, if you prove your sales ability and consistency, most managers will back off you, and if they don't, your VP/GM could help you either move teams or become a TL.
