      Pros

      Anyone below the leadership level is fantastic to work with, and I love the friends I've made here. I was able to travel abroad for a week+ a few times throughout my time here. The company also had a decent health insurance plan.

      Cons

      They're going back to 4 days in-office, which costs a lot for Boston commuters. The pay is poor compared to other sales positions in Boston. You will work 15 jobs in 1 in my experience. The management team also did not listen to those of us that actually spoke to the customers, and made decisions that didn't seem like they aligned at all with what we asked for per the customers.

      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.
