      Pros

      - great friends, positive peer-to-peer environment - good company to join as an entry level to build your resume

      Cons

      - lower level employees do not matter to senior leadership - plans are often rolled out macro without thinking about how they will impact the micro - if you end up in the customer success pipeline, there are little to no avenues out - stay out of this role if you can - compensation - mass layoffs in multiple divisions of the company in 2025

      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.
