Pros

Casual environment Nice coworkers Fun company events Free drinks/juice/coffee

Cons

Very low pay. Low. Raises are basically non-existant. Expected to work past normal hours (9-6). 40 hour work week? I wish! Forget that. Barely any recognition or bonus if you do exceptional work. Make any mistake (short email/long email/attire/anything) and you are basically blacklisted from high management. Micro-managing to the max. Management makes you feel/treats you like an intern regardless of tenure at company. Do you like being told what to do? Work here! Higher-up approval before sending any email to a client? Work here! High turnover. You also get no real experience here. Anyone can do this job. There are people who didn't graduate college working here from a million different career backgrounds. The only experience you get is honing your time-management/multi-tasking skills. Nothing else you do here will apply/help you anywhere else unless you work for a competitor.

Pros

flexable hours and reliiable pay for the hours you work. paid bi-weekly

Cons

you had a quota of calls you had to have daily and complete surveys. I could not make people answer their phones. i had to keep people on phone to complete surveys. some surveys would take 30mins! i could get completes. but i got cussed at and screamed at very regularly. i could still get a complete survey even being cussed at. but they kept making itarder with new quota requirements. it became a job that was way too stressful. hours dried up after presidential election. it wasnt very reliable on hours.

Pros

Peers are dedicated to each other and success of the team.

Cons

8+ presidents club winners have resigned in the last 12 months. North America sales leadership operates at a sales manager level and not a strategic thinker or executive leader. Comp plan is designed to hit 90-95% goal and not pay commissions.
