Pros

Kinda flexible schedule and everyone there will most likely be right out of college

Cons

Definitely cult like. You have to be there so early and have to do way too much in such a short time. Expected to work really long hours for minimal pay. Feels like you are hustling people every day. Also put so many miles on your car.

It's pretty bad

Pros

You can get some cool suits.. but you'll owe the company for them.

Cons

I wouldn't recommend if I could help it- I would recommend going into tech or med device sales. Its cutthroat. People take clients from each other. The hours can be 6am to 6pm- and there's the constant stress that you're not doing enough.
