Pros

Some good people to work with. Not really many Pro's to speak about.

Cons

Most dysfunctional place I've ever worked. Leadership at the Executive level down is horrible. I was there for almost 3yrs and it was a constant demoralizing environment and it pushed to the point of leaving. Too many internal challenges to overcome to build your business. People in upper management roles not qualified that can't develop sales reps or even a team. I would strongly urge folks in sales to not waste your time, yes they will offer a decent salary and potential pay increase incentives, but overall day to day experience not worth it. CEO is cheap and does not take care of his employees.

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.
