Pros

Remote work. Product that is used.

Cons

-You can lose your job if you have 3 bad months in a row. This is likely because this role will burn you out. -They increased the monthly quotas by ~90% from December to January (they did not increase payout). So you are selling twice as much (if possible due to downturn in market) and getting paid the same (actually less since multipliers are very difficult to hit).

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
