Pros

Company pays for 1 free phone. Made positions available for employees during merger/acquisition.

Cons

Start at the top. CEO is not a leader. Does not care for employees. Talks down to people. Threatens employees. Only cares about himself. Very little communications from management on what is expected. CIO/Directors are not leading or directing. They do tasks that meant for worker bees. They filled their days with mundane tasks so they don't have time to plan for the future nor improving processes. I see no future in this company. I am surprised it survived for this long under this kind of management. Issues refurbished equipment to 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.
