Pros

This is an easy job to get into even with minimal experience in this field. It has moments of paying well, though in lower positions the commission is entirely out of your control.

Cons

Management structure could use major improvement. It seems like the less you do/know how to do, the more money you make and the faster you get promoted. They promise futures of promotions and bigger money opportunities only to hold you stagnant in a position for years on end. Management is clueless on professionalism and helping you to excel in your role.

Pros

Worked with talented and nice people.

Cons

Lacking quality sales training. This company values throwing you right into the deep end right from the get go and wants you to figure things out for yourself. They offer “help” but often in the form of “You’re smart, you’ll figure it out” or “You’ll get the hang of it eventually.” Nothing of any substance. Also this is the largest market in the company so there often isn’t enough time for beginners to get the hang of things before being put into the line of fire.
