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 Outdated contracts and service.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.

Pros

*They give you over 180 hours of formal sales training which is really helpful and looks good on a resume *This will build your resilience for cold calling like no other. Other jobs will be a piece of cake after this *If you reach goals, earnings and rewards are pretty great. *They do a great job of recognizing when people close deals *Excellent Entry-level sales to prepare you for your next job.

Cons

*They pretend to be this amazing culture but it's actually very cut-throat. I had seen over 50 employees come and go in the 7 months I worked there. I recently heard they are down to 10 current employees in the sales teams. *I've never had micro-management like this in my life, or even know if there's worse out in the world. You have meeting every morning discussing the same exact stuff/goals you discussed the morning prior. Your Team Lead checks in with you every hour and wants to know exactly how many people you've talk to and what your goals are. It's repetition to its core. *They will literally trick merchants into buying the service, which they are then locked into for 4 years. If you don't get paper to pen that day, your manager will send you back in and yell at you until you do *Basically door to door salesmanship. Total "'used car salesman" feel and mentality. Do/Say whatever it takes to get the deal *The hours are unreal. If you live in the burbs it's probably better, but the travel time (which they only reimburse the tiniest amount of) is ridiculous. I had to wake up at 6 am and usually didn't get home until 8 pm .
