      Pros

      You get to travel, but you don’t really get to choose the location. Great office space. Peers are nice.

      Cons

      The company tricks you into thinking free trips will pay the bills. Entry level salary is around $38-40K. There is bonus potential for sales staff but it’s minimal and no other roles have bonus potential. The lack of diversity is a joke, there are so few people of color that there are whole teams of 20+ people where everyone is white. If you have student loans or want to make a decent wage as a college-educated young professional, don’t come here because you will constantly be broke.

      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.
