Pros

You mostly get paid on time. Sometimes your manager may be in a good enough mood to give you a lead.

Cons

Dialing for dollars. This is not an outside sales position as they bill it but a slave shop boiler room telemarketing gig. Don’t make the days quota for dials expect to be called out in front of your region. You will be hard pressed to not become so stressed out that you become physically ill. Office is disgusting and coworkers are on par with that. Sexist and absolutely crude people. Do not recommend.

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.
