Pros

1). Friendly co-workers, mostly a young crowd 2). Nice location. 3). Base salary is above average for inside sales. 4).Plenty of food to eat in the office. 5). Good experience for anyone interested in inside sales. 6). Some training, but could be better. 7). Good products to sell. We were getting a lot of big name companies as new customers.

Cons

1). Major turnover of sales team. As mentioned in the other review, this is definitely a "churn and burn" company. They are going through sales people like a hot knife to butter. As the old saying goes "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." 2). The so called "leads" we received were not really leads, but just a bunch of company names, phone numbers, etc. Some were incorrect, or disconnected. A major waste of time when you are trying to "dial for dollars." 3). The company doesn't understand the basics of selling. Of course we know that we have to cold call, but little support from marketing would help. You would think that a marketing company would understand the basic concept of marketing by providing better leads to save us time and make more money. 4). Sink or swim attitude - you are thrown to the deep end of the pool very quickly.

Pros

Great company atmosphere, competitive environment, money to be made there, best in-class technology, strong C-level leadership, opportunity for growth, awesome company retreats, young crowd.

Cons

The feeling of coming into work everyday not feeling secure isn't a good one. Constant turnover, high-pressure selling, would rather get in a deal before the end of the month and lose it then wait a week after to win it. Quotas are ridiculous and realistically unattainable when dealing with PR professionals on a daily basis. Not much on-going training, battling constantly over accounts, rarely any in-bound leads, competitors have similar technology for a substantially lower price.
