Pros

You don't need any industry experience. You can make decent money.

Cons

They will chew you up and spit you out. The benefits are well below industry average--PTO is only 10 days, which includes sick time, and they will dock you for every minute missed--and the medical insurance is expensive. You're expected to work more than 40 hours a week, plus do "team" activities outside of work hours, which usually include copious amounts of drinking. The people are very cliquey, so if you are not one of "them", get ready for high school attitudes. No real opportunity for advancement--you can be in "recruiting" (read: sales) or a "sales manager," but there is very little real difference, and that is it. Lots of employees straight out of college and a very immature environment overall. Their business model is stuck in about 1998.

Pros

There is a warm welcoming atmosphere here. The management and staff are incredibly friendly and supportive. The COO is one of the nicest people I've ever met. There is an open door policy that even the CEO roles with. You can walk into his office at any time with questions. All of the executive management started where every single one of us did, the bottom. No one looks down on you if you aren't getting it right away. It was a huge change for me when I first started and it took me a few months to close my first deal. I did not go to college for engineering, so learning the lingo takes awhile. There was no deadline on when I had to close one, just pure support and teaching the whole way. There is slim to none micromanaging once you get the hang of it. No one is breathing down your back. Just do your job and you'll be fine. The uncapped commission is wonderful. The more calls you make, the more money in your pocket. They have a lot of outside office activities: softball, basketball, volleyball, bowling, 5k runs, fitness challenges, etc. They encourage you to get involved and stay active. They are also involved in several charities around the city. I never work more than 8 hours a day unless I CHOOSE too.

Cons

If you don't like being thrown into the fire to learn, then this isn't for you. If you don't like to pick up the phone and just do the job, this isn't for you. Yes, the phone is heavy when you first start, it's weird making calls to people you've never met, but that's the job you signed up for and you know that day 1. The saying "Work Hard, Play Hard" is very true here. You're not just going to be handed job orders, you work for them. The base pay is on the lower side, yes, however, I cannot stress enough that if you JUST DO THE JOB, you will never live off of your base pay. There are a lot of managers but when you look at the United States as a whole, only half the states has someone in charge of them. 50 states with 25 managers... there's room to grow. Don't look at it as there are 75 people in the company and 25 managers, look at the big picture!
