Pros

You have every resource imaginable right at your finger tips. Great atmosphere!

Cons

Base salary is not enough to make it by. If the base salary was enough to get by they would retain their best talent. Plan on selling about $100k per month and make about $100-$300 additional in ONLY your last paycheck of the month if your lucky; on top of a $25k salary per year. First paycheck of the month (welfare check) $650 for two weeks. Also, I was one of the top performers in my starting group

Pros

When the money is good it is very good. They feed you well.

Cons

Wehn you aren't meeting goal you'll make no money and get let go after a few weeks of the whole management team hovering over you. Top Account Managers get better leads and handed open accounts. Everyone spends all day trying to snake coworker's accounts.
