Pros

I honestly cannot think of one pro.

Cons

This is 2015, they pay 1990 salaries that match their 1990 sales technologies! No Sales force, sales logix, nothing but paper cards and a file box! What they promise is way different than what you get! the commission structure is so convoluted, you get a couple pennies for every dollar sales you bring them! This is an entry level position, experienced sales consultants don't waste your time!

Pros

The people are fun to be with, a good environment.

Cons

Pay is really only good if it is your first job...no real growth. I won every award they offered in the first 6 months...after that where can I go? Micro managed on quotas...but that was a particular boss. Cold Call all day long! Boooo
