Cogent Communications reviews

Most dysfunctional place I've ever worked. Leadership at the Executive level down is horrible. I was there for almost 3yrs and it was a constant demoralizing environment and it pushed to the point of leaving. Too many internal challenges to overcome to build your business. People in upper management roles not qualified that can't develop sales reps or even a team. I would strongly urge folks in sales to not waste your time, yes they will offer a decent salary and potential pay increase incentives, but overall day to day experience not worth it. CEO is cheap and does not take care of his employees.

This company is not design to keep talented people. Management is useless/not helpful. Micromanagement from VP all the way down! Lead ownership, protection, and distribution will cause new employees to fail. Extremely high turn over, they can't keep new people. Poor healthcare plans at a ridiculous price point. Constant operations issues and poor follow-through with customers. Massive amount of prospecting, cold-calling required. Very transactional type of sale, not a role for a seasoned sales professional.
