Pros

There are people willing to help all around. You will have good work life balance. There is not hierarchy.

Cons

Unless you work for an extrememly long time, there are very few opportunities for growth. There is also an unhealthy focus on results

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.
