Pros

It's a job. Better than not eating at all (almost). Decent offices. Training was good. Good documentation on the services they provide.

Cons

You name it. This is the most awful company to work for. No common sense. Micromanaged to the absolute minute. Selling T1 lines (1.5mbs) in a world of cable Internet (200mbs). I couldn't get another job because practically every recruiter in Atlanta works with them and no one would hire me because it would endanger their contract. Thank goodness a friend of mine got me a direct hire role with his employer. I never got in trouble there. Never written up but I was threatened with it. Constantly. They have their procedures that you follow no matter what or they will fire you. No common sense. One particular issue I fixed without taking additional, unneeded steps and wasting time, only to be threatened with a write up and possibly not going permanent. Didn't matter that the client was fixed and had not called back in and it had been over a month since the call. Just one of many, many situations like this. HR is so clueless that in my exit interview, they were "shocked" when I told them how awful they were and how practically everyone on the floor that I knew felt the same, but were too scared to say anything because they might get a bad name there. I would rather kick puppies for a living than go back. 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. Kicking puppies. Think about that before you consider working here.

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
