Pros

Snacks & Food Casual Environment Energetic office vibe Clients take your calls

Cons

With many recent promotions, many given to sales professionals that have exceeded quota in previous years, it's very clear that the best sales people, aren't the best sales managers and lack support & communication skills that many new team members need Very few female leaders in the organization overall Benefits do not compare to their competitors like Facebook or Google Political
