Pros

It is better than being unemployed...kind of Free soda Free internet to be able to look for other jobs

Cons

High turnover Not a stable enviroment Sr. Management is shady and will take deals from reps Short lifespan, if you make it a year you deserve a trophy Uneducated Sr. leadership that doesnt know how to control a work enviroment You will work 60+ hours a week at miniscule base salary 40k Top reps at other companies can come here to die

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.
