Pros

They sometimes buy you lunch that secretly you wish you'll choke on. Benefits are good and pay is good. But, that is how they hook you.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the promise of grandure and award winning culture. The salesman sell you on the taking the job and that is all they are good at. Also, the glowing reviews posted in December by the Sales Development and Emerging Markets were "encouraged" from management to help the efforts of a massive hiring they undertook.

Pros

Good benefits and pay. You have to give up your life for them. Not worth the abuse! Not many pros here at all.

Cons

Been following these reviews for a while. It appears when there is a negative review, there's a very "positive" one to immediately follow, which buries the bad review. BEWARE since I believe the management or company is most likely doing this. I was fooled terribly by all the "positive" reviews of this company. Don't fall for them like I did. This place took years off my life, and I was treated really bad, along with the bad mistreatment of other employees. Don't be fooled! This place is a revolving door. They move people through there constantly, like they're moving cattle. Not a pleasant workplace. Lots of unrealistic goals and demands put on employees to perform. No sales call support, as promised. Cold calling mostly with very little support from management. Abusive bosses who talk down to employees every day. They verbally abuse employees behind closed doors. When reported to HR, they did nothing. NO support from HR whatsoever, which was truly disappointing. Favoritism amongst the ranks. If you're slightly underperforming, they make an example out of you. Run from this place. The money isn't worth the abuse.
