Cons

Management, Management, Management. All they do is babysit reps all day and micromanage them to the point you feel like you're handcuffed to the chair and just make dials liek you're a call center. You're hired as an "account manager" but it might as well be a preschool. You can sell a lot of units helping the manager's hit their numbers and they still treat you like crap. Turn over rate is probably 90%. Never seen so many people get fired, quitting, hired at any job. Management makes everyone miserable which makes people not want to sell anything for them. They don't tell you about the minimum number you have to hit in your first year. If you don't hit it you get canned. They have a strike system after your first year which they don't tell you either for a long long time.
