Pros
Although a lot of the information on this thread has merit, this business actually provides a lot of promise. In this sales role, the goal is to sift through the market to find the companies that could use a platform like this to get closer to new business. It can be rough, but certainly doable. If you can get a few good clients and continue to expand them across multiple events, it creates a sort of residual income- and anyone in sales knows how important that is while trying to grow a book of business. If you're looking for a "get rich quick" job, this is not it. This sales position is the right fit for someone who sees the bigger picture. It will take some hustle and grunt work to begin, but there are several people in this same role pulling in ~$200K per year. The long term potential in this company is real. Although training is somewhat limited in some departments, it is present. In fact, my manager would come in at 7:30 in the morning to work with me if I asked for it. Most of the managers are thoroughly engaged and have vested interest in your success. Overall, for those that are willing to buckle down and hustle for a year or two, this opportunity is real.
Cons
You get out what you put in. In the early days, be ready to work long hours. It does appear to be worth it in the long run.
