Pros

unlimited caps on commissions. if selling in a lit building, its the best bang for your buck in the market.

Cons

ineffective managers make it hard to preform job effectively. also, quote is ridiculously unachievable since almost everyone in the sales team is trying to target and sell to lit buildings.

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.
