Pros

nothing! Absolutely nothing!this place a horrible cage like environment!

Cons

I wish I can give cogent a negative star. This place was hands down the worst place to work in my entire adult life! The CEO is terrible not mentioned the regional directors and VP’s micromanaging. We are adults and constantly reminders of when to clock in and out. The last time I was micromanaged this way it was it when I was 16 years old working at Dominos Pizza! Don’t come here! The reviews are spot on. Glad I am not there anymore! So if you see an open spot, go work and Walmart instead, they are probably more professional there than that forsaken place. No customer wants to do business with Cogent, they were burn before. So it was hard getting customers. The culture sucks, it like a mini calling center! So stay away from this place!

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.
