Pros

You get to sell a product that benefits your clients and the planet! Compensation is hourly plus commission-- unlimited earning potential. Amazing amount of inbound leads that the company generates. Amazing training and support--it's pretty challenging to get a job here, but once you're in they'll go out of their way to make sure you thrive. Company supplied coffee, cocoa, cereal, candy, etc. Very fun, playful work environment- a lot of folks wear jeans, listen to music while working, etc. My days fly by!!! Finally, there is incredible opportunity for growth.

Cons

You're on the phone all day (at least for inside sales). We also work a lot with computers. I love these things- but if you don't it may not be for you. You have to have goals here-- it's not a show up and collect a paycheck place. It's competitive. In a fun way. But still, competitive. Again, I love these things-- but if they freak you out then it might not be your thing.

Pros

I came for the benefits and stayed because of the people. Everyone has such a positive attitude. I love coming to work every day where I feel appreciated and that the part I play really matters to the overall success of this company. I also love being around the energy that the sales team adds to the environment.

Cons

Nothing earth shaking to report.
