Pros

It's a nice way to get into telecom, as there aren't many products Managers were nice, and triied to help me a lot Free beverages was a nice perk

Cons

Too many people selling into too few buildings Off-net pricing isn't as competitive as it could be, so it was at a disadvantage Gave my 2-weeks notice, was walked the same day, and FYI, they don't pay you for the two weeks, as other telecom companies do... Only a select few can actually make quota each month - don't expect to do it much, if at all your first year. Office was sub-par at best, not a healthy work environment to be working in.

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.
