Pros

Decent pay out of college, the way you are ramped up to your quota serves as a signing bonus which is nice

Cons

You are selling the internet making 60-80 cold calls a day. They monitor your talk time, call numbers, and the micromanaging is out of control.

Pros

Commission is really great Good entry-level sales job Very easy to learn and understand products Don't need to work with support, provisioning, etc Ramp bonus is nice to get ready for commission

Cons

Management is more into activity count than actual sales qualities which can lead to wasted effort No real room for negotiation

Pros

It has a Good base, an awesome commission structure, and the manager is extremely supportive and understands how to keep a work life balance for his employees

Cons

Can't say that I have a whole lot of negative things to say about working here, others than having to sit at a desk for the majority of the day
