Pros

The people, amazing product, work at home options, good health benefits, free snacks

Cons

- Cold calling 9-5 - Sales-leads are not properly vetted - Though they've signed up for more information, a good portion of your leads: are unaware of what the product does, do not need the product, aren't qualified to make use of the product or can make business decision using the product, can't afford it, or just wants someone to talk to (this happens alot), or a buddy signed them up to be contacted - There's no clear company goals or strategy to address shareholder's interest - There's no upward mobility in this position - Theres no engineers in the American office, and they barely speak English (they are good people and do try hard to communicate with you) - You do not need a degree for this job - You might get fat working here - It does not matter the department, you're pigeon-holing yourself if accept this job out of college and stay here too long.

There's a lot to learn, which isn't a con - but something good to know.

Pros

None, get ready to be micro managed and have unobtainable quotas.

Cons

Management is clueless on how to run a channel program. US team is run like a college frat with condescending management. No official PIP, they will invite you to a meeting with HR and fire you.
