Pros

- They teach you how to sell over the phone - Teach you work ethic, and let you know immediately if you are cut out for sales or not - Sales incentive trips (incredible time, IF you can make them) - 18 paid days off per year - Close the offices for the last 2 weeks of the calendar year - The company pays 100% of your health insurance - Not a suit and tie gig, very laid back office dress code

Cons

- Upper management is set in their ways, "we have always done it this way so we will continue to do it", even though times have clearly changed - Upper management is COMPLETELY OVERPAID, half of them just bark orders at you and do nothing to help you while they collect a fat paycheck - You will be sent emails CONTSTANTLY on how "even some of the WORST sales reps can sell this package, why arent you" - its completely uncalled for and very degrading - The CRM is so outdated its scary, glitches constantly - They give away your sales & accounts to other people if you don't try and sell them into every single living thing they offer - The tickets that they get are so overpriced its insane, the ticket money comes OUT of your sale which you do not get paid on, you can find tickets on Stubhub for 70% less but since the company is selling the tickets and making money on them they could care less - If you become a middle desk, you will waste a large portion of your day helping people that just got out of training who have no clue what they are doing - and you are not compensated for it what so ever
