      Great place to start your sales career

      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to work at an up and coming company. If you want to start a career in sales, You'll get the opportunity to learn the ropes in sals, and depending on your success earn a decent commission. To be successful at this company, expect to work hard and put lots of time on the phones. You'll have a front row seat on what makes a fast growing company successful.

      Cons

      The average salary is low but you can make up for it with commission. Don't go into this position thinking you'll be able to move to different departments. You must be 100% committed to working in sales.

      A machine

      Pros

      Fun work environment Work with your friends Kegs in the office Company parties Great benefits (Free health/dental/medical insurance, almost a whole month of paid time off) Laid-back environment Pandora playing

      Cons

      They hire new classes of 30+ sales reps every month so you feel like you are very expendable to the company Depending on what territory you are assigned will determine your success. If you get a good territory (i.e, Southern California) you will excel in the promotion track very quickly whereas if you get a bad territory where no one knows what Yelp is you have the same expectations from management.

      Great Company and Great People but hard to move into other departments.

      Pros

      Fully Stocked Kitchen Fully paid benefits through Blue Cross/Blue Shield Fun Environment Young Staff MAC computers Transparency Great incentives/outings Great Training Gym membership Reimbursement

      Cons

      Pay isn't great, even for living in AZ Salespeople aren't on a leveled playing field Promotions and productivity are based on revenue brought in rather than tenure and actual hard work and competence. The rich stay rich and the poor stay poor- Closers get the best territories but this is all determined by a randomized territory you get in training which will either make or break your career here. Stressful- you live by numbers everyday and it's never going to be enough
