Pros

New CRO since 2013, strives to decrease rep turnover by increasing incentives and more manageable goals. Good communication throughout organization. Excellent Sales Support staff. Reimbursable expenses in a timely manner. Great comp plan. Solid business plan and strong differentiators.

Cons

It's the telecommunications industry - it's tough out there. Depending on your region / direct upper management, the job quality varies greatly.

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.
