Pros

- Good Logo for your CV, if you can get 6 months under your belt - Potentially a great first job to toughen up career Salespeople and Graduates - Good to have a negative experience at least once to strengthen your ability, prove you can work hard and tolerate adverse conditions

Cons

- Poor internal structure favouring founding members - Hyper-competitive sales floor leading to mega-high staff turnover - Unstable commission which are often non-existent, especially in the first 3-6 months - Lottery atmosphere with no control over pipeline or commissions - Cliquey atmosphere making it very difficult to socialise and integrate, especially in early months - Selling into SME's and one man bands many of whom don't care about your sales pitch or product and struggle to understand any perceived benefits of this frankly ground-breaking opportunity - My confidence dropped having worked here and made to feel valueless after being the top performer in previous role
