Pros

Free travel (with a student group) internationally each year Great place to learn sales/corporate Office life works hard to make fun events happen Most of the people are really welcoming/helpful/friendly

Cons

Base and bonus are low to start Many people do not hit goals/bonus due to unfair territory structure Does not provide many of the perks other corporate jobs have, such as consistent (daily) free lunch/snacks, parking paid for, stocks (private company), etc. 4 days in office, 1 day work from home Very niche sales and wear lots of hats that are not all sales functions (ex: answering phones on an available line)

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.
