Pros

HIgh energy and young sales force. Cbeyond is a company with an unbelievable training and sales model specifically for one call closes. Skills include, tie downs, holding people accountable, building return on investment, presentation skills and how to close.

Cons

everything you do will be micromanaged and discussed repetitively. your sales will be appreciated the day you bring them in but are forgotten about the next day at work and the pressure is re-applied. you are selling an outdated form of internet that is overly priced and for most people a poor business decision. You are expected to hit the pavement everyday and cold call 60 doors which is expected to yield 1 maybe 2 appointments. The company has a horrible reputation in the territories representatives have and you are more times than not escorted out of buildings or treated like trash. Management often treats you like a child when VP positions are filled by egotistical twenty something year olds who may or may not have a college degree. When I was interviewing I read negative reviews and figured it was people who did not make it at Cbeyond but now I have realized I was wrong and never should have worked their in the first place. In less than a year I saw over 50 people get hired and quit or get fired. high attrition rate due to poor employee treatment and outdated service you sell.

Pros

It wouldn't allow me to put my actual last year (2012) but during my 2 year employment, I made great money. I made president's club both years and regular saw 7K checks with some topping 10K. I used to win nice watches, luxury sunglasses, skydiving trips, box seats at Lakers games, box seating at really cool concerts, etc.

Cons

LONG hours...I would arrive at 7am for the morning meeting. we would then have team meeting at 8am and we would hit the road at 9am. We wouldn't get back until 5:30-6:00pm BUT nobody complained because we were paid for it. Nobody cared what gas prices were because we were more than compensated (I forgot to mention Dom, the big boss, would but gas cards and hand those out just because you had a nice suit on. Dude was such a good leader....eveyone wanted to do good for Dom. Why? I/ couldn't explain it...ther than he knew how to lead and that involves getting people to buy into your plan. We did. And Dom had that division leading the company each and every month. Two of the best years of my career and it happened in the very beginning. I will always miss my time here. what a con. lol. it was a great job
