Pros

I loved working at Cbeyond and the only reason I changed jobs is because an opportunity presented itself that I couldn't say no to. I worked in the Corporate side (non-sales) of Cbeyond, and my experience was outstanding. Below are some of the pros that come to mind: - Cheap vending machines on every floor ($.25 - $.50) - Free gym on-site (AWESOME gym. Towel service, showers/locker room, free classes, great equipment, etc etc.) - Results-oriented atmosphere (promotions, salary increases, etc are based off of your performance... not your tenure) - GREAT atmosphere... the people made working at Cbeyond as enjoyable as it was - Big on community involvement / outreach - A lot of internal career opportunities - Office is in a good location and is easy to get to - Casual atmosphere

Cons

Pros

Fun promotions and bonuses every month If you work hard, you'll get promoted quickly Learn to work the system, once you figure out the politics you're golden

Cons

Tons of micro management, the biggest problem you run into is that prospects 1) haven't heard of Cbeyond or 2) don't want to spend $400+ for phones, internet and e fax. It's very hard to compete against other providers that can supply double the bandwidth for half the price (and a decrease in reliability...but most prospects care more about price and speed than reliability)

Pros

The office and company is still young, which means it's still growing and it's keeping up with the changing times. The office I worked in was very young, so you are surrounded with individuals like you. They keep you motivated and competitive. The starting salary and benefits are great for a new graduate. And there are plenty of incentives that you get for working hard and reaching your goal. It's all about hard work and competitiveness. That is all you need to be successful in the company. They also promote with in! Also they train you very well and the things you learn about networking and the training will help you later on in life!

Cons

I experienced long days, as so did many of my counter-parts. I also experienced micro-management that was a bit insane. I understand that my job was to sale the company's resources to potential clients but I don't like to be pushy and intrusive. I felt sometimes my managers ruined my deals because they were so insisting of me to push the clients hand to sign the contract.
