Pros

Brand recognition in the market, sales training, snacks

Cons

Burnout in commercial sales is common. 3 days in office non negotiable - poor work life balance as you’re working 10+ hour days and expected to work through your lunch. Little to no inbound lead flow. Diversity is laughable- frat house/ sweatshop culture is extremely evident
