Pros

You're getting a salary out of college (30K). Great training and solid experience in the field that will definitely toughen you up and get you ready for sales. Working with good people and some managers are great at what they do while some should not be in a management position.

Cons

In your first months at the company, you're spending the majority of the week getting into the office at 7:30 in the morning and chances are you won't leave the office until about 6:00pm. You are cold calling in territories that have been called on by countless reps before you. I've walked into some businesses that showed me a stack of business cards from Cbeyond reps before. There are some companies that would be a great fit, but they have no desire to do business with Cbeyond because they are just flat out annoyed by constantly getting cold called. You're required to cold call every single business in your territory. The cheapest package that Cbeyond offers is in the $400 range and there is no way most of the businesses in your territory budget that much for phone and internet. You're spending a lot on gas and if you get stuck with a territory thats a long way away from the office, you're going to be spending even more. They reimburse gas with $50 per month and a little more per appointment you set, but in the first few months, it is not enough by a long shot.

Pros

Um.....you will have to figure that out

Cons

No compensation for an outside sales job. Must call manger every hour. tell him/her about your last door., how many doors you have hit, and where your next deal is coming from. This is everyday..and after you have discussed all of this in the morning meeting. Outdated contracts and service. ATT/Verizon/Comcast is going to beat you off shear speed of technology let alone the price of service. They try to build value on website and data back up but everything is so minimal that its pointless. Oh they will change your deals without notifying yo. But you will find out when you get your commission check. And your customers will be angry cause they will lie to them and then back track just to get them to sign the contract. Yeah not good at all.
