Pros

All my sales installed and I was paid accordingly. The organization is very flat but the same poeple have been around for multiple decades. If your looking glitter look somewhere else, if you want a solid sales career and your mediocre and cant swim anywhere else this is your place seriously.

Cons

Openly racist salary structure, I was the number #1 agent in my region and out paced my peers considerably but they wouldnt pay me a livable wage after 3 internal Promotions from regional to national to global account executive. I watched company hire 5 poeple at my office at a higher salary and none of them ever achieved my sales rank. Once I hit a 50k a month contract they fired me instead of given me another promotion or salary raise. On the west coast there is no one with a spine everyone is latino or phillipino or white, if your african american you are or white you should work somewhere with a more understanding work culture.

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.
