Pros

There is NO Pro for being an ISR in Herndon.

Cons

You are limited to selling 1 product only. If a client asks for any other service it has to be passed to a NAM. You are basically a lead generator for the NAMs/GAMs Management is useless/ not helpful. Micromanagement from VP all the way down! Extremely high quota Will cause you to be stressed for no reason

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.
