Pros

Seemed to be a good deal of growth opportunity for people willing to put in the effort.

Cons

"research" felt like telemarketing, complete with phone call monitoring and daily call numbers that kept going up

Pros

Good Benefits and Great location!

Cons

Based on how upper management has structure the sales environment, the only competition you have are your own co-workers. You will have co-workers going after your accounts/prospect all time, no matter what you notated on those accounts and management will not do anything about it. I have seen reps cuss at each other. One rep was very aggressive and practically threaten another rep to stay away from his accounts. This is not a collaborate work environment. They do not tell you when you get hired that your commissions are on a 3 month average and that chargebacks are for the lifetime of a client. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
