      Pros

      Wonderful Sales Training for entry level professionals. Decent rewards for sucess.

      Cons

      Back-breaking cold calling/business to business, long hours. Immature managers, culture as a whole. No communication concerning changes within organization. Primarily, sales reps are brainwashed to be selling robots.

      Pros

      Overall I think my time at Cbeyond was a great experience. The team is made up mostly of young, ambitious and fun college grads and I definitely made some friends while I was there. The base salary and benefits were great for a job that doesn't require much experience and if you do well the commissions can add up fast. The promotions are strictly based on your performance and meeting sales goals so you don't have to deal with favoritism. Overall you need to be willing to work had and be extremely ambitious and outgoing to be successful. Many people think that can cut it here and they are gone in a month.

      Cons

      The "door to door" style of sales is old fashioned and doesnt work like it did 15 years ago. In this market our brand image had been damaged pretty extensively so that most people already knew of us and had a negative opinion. They are not very accommodating to family issues and you will find yourself working until 7pm on a regular basis. The Siebel software they use for CRM is both inadequate and under-utilized. Their products are also much more expensive than the competitors and offer basically the same thing which makes them difficult to sell in this economy, especially to small business owners.
