Pros

If you aspire to be a sales person, I think they teach good discipline about smiling & dialing and honestly qualifying a sales opportunity.

Cons

No respect for marketing as a contributor to business success. High churn overall and especially a revolving door in the marketing department. Company is 100% sales focused. I joined the company because I had a great set of interviews with the Marketing Director. 2 days after I joined, the small marketing department went out for drinks to celebrate the fact that we had completed our annual metrics a full quarter early. The next day the Marketing Director was fired, presumably because she asked for a promotion or a raise or something, which, evidently, she deserved. That kicked off a year of hell where I worked my butt off and then I was unceremoniously fired by the Marketing Director's incompetent replacement. That replacement Marketing Director lasted another month before he was fired. Wow! Shameful!

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
