Pros

Laptop, Iphone. Opportunity to make decent commission during ramp up period.

Cons

No communication. The inside sales team is the focus of the sales force. Very little opportunity for new employees. Completely remote, very little direct contact with management. Poorly structured sales organization from an outside perspective. Small commissions, scattered leads with no defined territory. Not able to support more than 1 or 2 successful sales people per market. Only 3 out of about 12 hit quota. 100% turnover in less than a year.
