      Pros

      They are always hiring....high turnover rate

      Cons

      Too many hours and you are working for peanuts, extremely high turnover rate, no respect from management, dissorganized, product is not nearly competative enough especially since it is almost more epxensive than all competitors....need i say more?

      Great training, good people, and good money...if you can hack it.

      Pros

      For an entry level outside sales position, Cbeyond can provide some excellent training and "trial-by-fire" experience, if you have the talent and work ethic. This position is definitely not for everyone, espcially if you do not have thick skin and tenacity, but for those willing to learn and work your butt off, it is a great place to make good money straight out of college and is an excellent jumping point into the rest of your sales career. The turnover rate is high, but mostly because they will hire inexperienced salespeople into a very tough sales enviornment. Also, best office culture for the 20-30 crowd...work hard, play harder. I worked there for 2.5 years, and they were some of the fondest of my professional career, but I saw a lot of people come and go that just couldn't hack it, or didn't care enough to try. If you can make it at CBeyond, you can make it anywhere.

      Cons

      Most people who start in outside sales don't know what they are getting into and think that just because they "like people" that they can sell. It is very much a sink-or-swim atmosphere, and if you aren't making your numbers, you won't last. On a daily basis, it feels like your territory is "saturated", but they can definitely be overcome. It is mostly outside cold-calling, and if you can't handle getting screamed at by a secretary or being escorted out of an office building by security for soliciting, then don't waste your time. You will definitely get your teeth kicked in, but if you can take it, you will do well.

      Difficult, but rewarding career if you want to learn how to sell anything

      Pros

      Cbeyond is a great place to start a sales career. It will probably be one of the hardest jobs you'll ever have, but if you work hard, there is much to be gained. There are very cool people that work there and you will most likely have a new group of friends. If you're successful, you can get promoted extremely quickly, but it's a brutal grind out there.

      Cons

      You will be micro-managed every day, there is a lot of pressure to perform, you'll work 10 hour days and be prepared for rejection
