      Pros

      Lots of fun perks including free travel (depending on position), fun daily environment and lots of room to move up. It's very hard to get fired or laid off - if you aren't doing well in your job, they generally just move you to another position. Great place to get a start in the corporate world. May not pay well (15-20k under market value) but will give you an inflated title.

      Cons

      Be prepared to be taken advantage of! Long hours, no overtime and very little in terms of "thank you". While they claim to promote a work/life balance, the people who devote their life to the company are the ones who get promoted.

      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.
