However, on the sales side, you can make money but it helps to be well-connected or very bold and bring up what you do with everyone. A lot of your success also depends on the manager you have; they all have different styles and approaches . Surprisingly, most managers did not do weekly meetings or any scheduled team updates. Be sure to have quite a bit of money saved up as it can be a while before you make enough to live on for many people. They have to recruit heavily because there is a 90% failure rate.
They also make some very odd decisions too. They have open table space with zero privacy… I mean you literally have a phone on the table with your name above it, no walls and about 2 feet of space. Most reps end up talking in the hallway or conference rooms to get some privacy. The new guy would be well advised to connect with a seasoned guy and do joint work. They also really, really push the best place to work awards and want us to vote. It is voluntary, but there’s a bit of pressure to complete it which I was felt was a little disingenuous.
