Pros

Free tour, amazing co-workers and nice office space

Cons

deliverables of over 100+ cold-calls to teachers in the middle of the summer?! Treated as a number not a teammate by any higher-ups. inter-team competition did not foster a kind or learning environment

Thank you for your feedback. I’m happy to hear that you had a strong connection with your colleagues and that you were able to see the world with us. However I am sorry to hear of your negative experiences during your time with our team. Training is a huge priority for us, both in the onboarding stage and in continued professional development. We invest heavily in our ongoing Entrepreneurial Sales Development Program, which ensures strong preparation for the role while also nurturing individual professional goals. Territory Managers do drive the strategy for sales growth in their region. Occasionally this does require a high call volume but strategies are always tailored to the needs and growth potential of a specific area. We do foster an environment of healthy competition and utilize inter-office contests (ex. Top performers trip) to create a fun, engaging sales environment. -- Mike Kaufman, Sr. Director of People Operations

Pros

Depending on your division, free travel as part of the "job". A wonderful place to meet likeminded young folks. Almost seems like a continuation of college, which could be pro or con depending how you look for it. If you are a driven individual there is usually a lot of opportunity for growth and taking on projects within your division.

Cons

Semi-cult ish. Really want you to drink the Kool-aid and feel "lucky" for being there. Yes its a wonderful place to work, but not up to par compensation wise. They lure you in with the gags. Great place to work when you want to be young fun and free, mix work with social.

Pros

The office is in a good location.

Cons

Profits on the backs of underpaid and undervalued employees. Senior management is out-of-touch with what matters to its workforce.
