Pros

Good benifits, and decent pay for experience. They do a good job a keeping a positive attitude within the office, so every day starts out on a positive note. Good training for getting into sales. If you want to build up a tough skin it's a good place to do it. Every sales job after this will seem easy.

Cons

They need to try really hard to keep everyone positive in the office because once you leave, reality will hit you hard. Happy customers are hard to find and there are plenty of unhappy ex customers. They tell you that they are making some big positive changes when they hire you, and that you are one of them, but you will find out that they hire and layoff sales people regularly and that they told that to the previous reps. They practice a common business tactic where they have massive layoffs in the fourth quarter to make sure their fourth quarter reports look better. If they are paying half the people then they arent loosing as much money. You'll find when you go to an account and they will tell you "I will never do business with Cbeyond again." When you try to tell them your changing they say that's what Cbeyond has always has said.. Some businesses actually have "No Cbeyond" signs on their doors. You have to toughen up quick or you'll be miserable.

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
