Pros

- great sales training- if you want to learn how to cold call, they will train you and the trainer is great - good work life balance, if you can handle the monotony of the job, the day ends at 4:30

Cons

- you have to clock into a phone in the morning- if you are late ( even by a minute) clocking in 4 times a month, you lose your incentives- a big benefit of working at LoopNet -very fraternity-like environment, great for people right out of college, but for working professionals this is not the most professional environment -certain regional managers are just plain bad managers and they do not demote, so if you get placed on a team with a bad manager, you are pretty much out of luck. -very high turn over mostly because people cannot hit their number. In my case, I hit my number and outsold most of the top reps which brings me to the biggest CON: -They micromanage and in sales this just does not work. If you are great at sales I really suggest you consider the fact that no matter how much you sell- even if you outsell most of the sales force, the fastest you can get promoted is 6 months. If you are very ambitious and like to be the best and work on your own terms and have flexibility with hours- this is not the place for you - Money is bad- as a rep who was in the top ten consistently, I made less money here than I did in my first Sales job right out of college. -when I quit, the managers announced to the entire sales team that I was not a " team player" and that it was a mutual decision to let me go- they lie.

Pros

Training, people, CEO energy and intelligence, salary, benefits, travel

Cons

It is a growing division and feels like a start up company. With that are some learning curves and growing pains.

Pros

Nice office and decent base pay

Cons

This company will use and abuse you. They also outright lie because they say it's consultative sales, but it's really about hounding current, former and potential new clients nonstop, bothering them even when they tell you not to call them back. This company does not care about their employees, and that starts at the very top corporate office and trickles down to each of their markets. The only way a manager keeps their job is if they treat their employees like trash. Company is more concerned with how many calls you make per day than the quality of the call or meeting. Metrics are important, but at some point you need quality over quantity. It's alone is why I stopped looking into management roles- because I'm a nice human.
