Pros

Base salary which is not a draw

Cons

100% cold calling, do not let them fool you into thinking these are warm calls where there are already established relationships. If a relationship is established that means that customer is already one of your co-workers client and you are not allowed to talk to them. You need to be a telemarketer for this job, if you are used to a consultative sales approach you will fail here. The level of Micro Management is absurd, everything is measured and quantified and then reviewed twice a day with your manager Hostile work environment, it is every man for themselves and since there are no territories you have to get used to snakes stealing and calling on the clients you established a relationship with. Management will not care if the client was stolen as long as money was made! Arguably the most confusing commission schedule of any fortune 500 company. I asked people who worked there for 3 years how it worked and they were still confused, but they told me it is not good. This is a turn and burn boiler room sales environment! If this is not your style, stay away. Full Disclosure: Me and everyone single person I was hired on with was fired within 3 months of working there.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
