Pros
Get the opportunity to learn different market segments, as well as the opportunity to sell multi-dimentional advertising platforms. Sales Managers were always willing to help, and coach whenever requested. Great environment on the sales floor.
Cons
Very high turnover. Poor payment structure, everything is from a "draw" where you're only making commission when you sell over a certain goals. Not a very strict hiring process, was dissatisfied that my degree did not really matter when compared to other new hires backgrounds. I truly liked everyone I worked with from management to fellow sales reps, but I feel that if they altered their commission structure, and hired less they would retain employees. When you read through past comments you see a lot of drastically different descriptions of the job: "Best job ever! Worst Job ever! etc." I would take all of them with a grain of salt. At its core, this is a pretty tough selling gig, people do not want to receive calls from advertiser's, and it can be monotonous calling on companies who have been called on for years from Naylor reps. I do think they give you the opportunity to succeed, but much of that is predicated by how hot you "come out of the gate." If you start out hot, you will be placed on much, much better projects than others--which directly correlates to your commission--and standing within the company. If you continue your success, you can somewhat coast as there are lots of renewals and projects that are not tough sells, but are high ticket items.
