Pros

After two years on the sales side, I decided to start looking for other sales jobs. The pros here in Norwalk are few, but I will admit the new office is very nice.

Cons

Management is weak, condescending and has no problem in churning sales reps quickly if they don't hit numbers (most of this office is turned over every six months). Unfortunately, this is the culture that has been created from the top. Selling digital and print newspaper ads via cold calling is a pretty tough gig these days. Also, there are stronger competitors.
