Pros

compensation is pretty good after you hit a few promotions, company trips are fun, atmosphere is young and pretty fun

Cons

management is sometimes dishonest about changes within office, employees are young and immature at times, very political, seems to be going downhill from the past, you hit ALOT of doors!

Pros

Easy place to land a job. The screening process is made to look rigorous, but it's just long and designed more so for you to interview them and verify how much you're willing to sacrifice for a job. My co-workers that were also hired on as sales associates were awesome, and had great personalities as well. Its also a good quick filler to have a job while using field time to look for another job. There are also a few individuals every now and then that realize the scheme, and are willing to exploit others for personal growth. As a return, they find a good fit with CBeyond and are given opportunities to move and advance as the organization grows.

Cons

The compensation plan is not explained as forthrightly as it should be. Because of the economy and because of the slow reimbursement of expenses and commissions, desperate recent college grads and unemployed young adults are taken advantage of as the company manipulates their efforts as mostly a direct source of advertising, under the guise of outside b2b sales. Those who enter the sales associate role with some experience realize the mistreatment earlier, and end up quitting or using field time to interview and find another job. Those who are too naive stick it out to be beaten on for months longer, and once they build up some decent resume filling work experience, they finally just straight up quit and look for another job. This organization is almost more like a pyramid scheme, never fully paying off the commissions that they promise, and never in the appropriate time frame.

Pros

the people are great, but keep your personal separate from your work life, because people do talk a whole lot, especially working around so many people who are in their 20's. Good experience and if you can last longer than a month you are definitely a hard worker!!!

Cons

Takes over your life. No free time to do anything, come home work more then get to bed by ten. Wake up at 6 then back to work again. Aggressive cold calling.
