Pros

Great Experience. You will learn a ton about individual business owners and employees alongside even more information about yourself and life in general. Experience not to be traded for anything. Fun, entertaining co-workers. Freedom to write your own schedule.

Cons

Misleading expectations from management. LONG hours for not enough pay. Not sure how the other branches ran but the Reston branch was very late in their commission payout, which translated into a lot of work for little or delayed pay. Micromanaging was in full effect for some managers. The branch was still in ramp up which means it didn't have a solid foundation like the other branches may have by now, but with the amount of turnover in employees they should have fixed the problem by now. Sales model is extensive and only amounts to price at the end of your efforts. Competing with big names, alot bigger than you. Bad reviews of Cbeyond online will kill deals. All of this amounting to probably one of the hardest sales positions you will ever come across. Worth it for the challenge and the "pros" but if you're putting your work in but not making money you're going to 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
