Pros

Depending on manager/rlm -good support -limited/no micromanagement -office events (potluck, group product training, etc) -base salary is competitive

Cons

-very low retention rate, average new hire lasts 5-6 months, and if they get a sale at most 1 year due to sales performance guidelines -companies have been overworked by tenured reps, building book of business early on is challenging because of this. -no flexibility for hybrid/remote work. Management would rather you use up your pto then allow a remote day -constant changes in ROE makes it hard for reps to consistently suceed

Pros

Free coffee and soda that's it.

Cons

Where do you even start. The company has no direction and the stock has dropped over $70 in a year. All the cutbacks that they make to cover losses come from reps compensation. You have to clock in and clock out everyday like you work in a candy factory and if you miss clocking in or clocking out they fire you. So many lazy people .They equip you with a laptop from 2017 that barely works and an iPhone SE from 2006. Most of the prospects block the numbers so cogent can't call . They have no one to sell to.
