Pros

· A great place to learn to think on your feet · Decent benefits & (sometimes) bonus opportunities · Your coworkers are working just as hard as you are

Cons

· Inhuman workload with execs continuously pushing for more productivity & sales · Constantly changing policies leaving employees responsible for things beyond their control, negatively affecting commissions & targets · Profit hungry goals with little to no transparency to customers · The products/services offered are usually overpriced or ridden with issues · Terrible communication between departments · Everyone on the ground works hard, but everyone can't wait to leave · In-house systems security is too relaxed for a tech company · CRMs are cluttered with years worth of old client info, duplicates, etc.
