Pros

Fastest install when you sell on-net services.

Cons

1. Sales comp-plan. Lots of claw-back. 2. People always fear about their job-loss. Hence Zero Job Satisfaction. 3. Off-net services - very bad commission. 4. Managers are the account owners and can do whatever they want. Even if it is an account you own and worked your a** off can be moved to someone else anyday. 5, Very high work-load. 6. Even people who spent years dont have job guarantees. One fine day, you can be fired.

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.
