Pros

Travel perks, comprehensive health insurance, a youthful and energetic office culture, and solid opportunities for early career development. Great mission.

Cons

Once you've gained early career development, opportunities for upward mobility are extremely limited unless someone else leaves. There are no clearly defined career paths. Lateral moves can happen, but you'll need to advocate strongly for yourself. Don’t expect proactive support from management or colleagues related to pay or career growth. Job security is low- Layoffs can happen at any time regardless of tenure. Very limited opportunities to advocate for more pay.

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.
