Pros

The quick growth combined with the global presence makes Englishtown a very stimulating working environment. With a background in web development I also find the product to be very interesting, as it spans over so many different areas. I've been with the company for ten years, and many others stay very long with the company. Working in a global environment means that I stay in touch with people from around the world, both via emails and Skype and through travels.

Cons

A quickly growing company has growing pains, mostly in the form of processes that sometimes cannot keep up. I don't think it is a big problem, and I know that it happens in every company that changes quickly.

Pros

Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

Cons

Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
