Management stuck in 80s/90s mindset. Avoid unless on brink of homelessness - Global Account Manager Cogent Communications Employee Review

Pros

Chill manager, decent base pay, cool work location

Cons

The work is highly monotonous, repetitive, and mentally draining. The expectations feel unrealistic, especially given the lack of effective tools, training, and meaningful support to help employees reach quota. The environment feels less like a career path and more like a high-pressure survival job. Success appears heavily dependent on having an established book of business built over many years, which puts newer employees at a major disadvantage. The monthly quota pressure creates constant job insecurity, which is exhausting and unhealthy. Having your job feel at risk every single month makes the culture feel punitive rather than motivating.

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.
