Pros

Salary is attractive for someone right out of college- I can imagine that is the only reason why someone would take this job

Cons

They give you a script your first week and you are asked to use it like a robot for every call. Someone uses objection #1, you use the response they give you for objection one and keep repeating it until they buy or hang up the phone. That is NOT an effective way to close deals. Research some of the strategies real sales reps who are making 6/ 7 figures are doing (not the trash here who think making 65K is a ton of money). I guarantee building a relationship and LISTENING to a customer is a top reason why they bring in new business. Going off the script, whether you close or not is what they preach and practice. This place has watched Boiler room one to many times. They literally won't give a woman a sales pitch. Pathetic!

Pros

8-5, some good happy hours. Everyone was pretty close and stuck together against the company.

Cons

Robotic, scripted, jail like feeling while at work. no flexible work hours. Good entry-level role to learn what you don't want in a job.

Pros

Commiserating with other co-workers. Making fun of the corpulent managers. Close to the A/C train?

Cons

Looking for a place filled with orange hued guidos who love lying to people over the phone (they often even use fake names when calling companies)? This is your spot! None, and I mean none, of the senior sales people at this place would make it at a real publisher like Conde, Hearst, Time Inc, etc. Why? Because PSP is more like Boiler Room than Mad Men. I used to get sick to my stomach on Sunday nights thinking about having to go back in there the next morning to be belittled by guys whose only real talent is delivering falsehoods over the phone. This is not a place for anybody who has any integrity at all.
