Pros

- energetic, passionate, smart, positive people who care deeply about their jobs - a culture of giving and receiving feedback to aid in professional development - travel opportunities - lots of responsibility early in your career - great office environment: no cubicles, lots of natural light, glass offices - we aren't perfect, but we are always improving and evolving. Every year, we are a better company than we were the last

Cons

- the culture is strong (which is awesome) but I think talented people who don't "fit in" feel that culture is more important than talent. The truth is they are equally important. - starting salaries aren't very high but as you progress in your career, you have the potential to make good money. Just be patient and do good work. Good work definitely gets rewarded.

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.
