Pros

New Growing Busy workplace with exciting things going on around the company. I have met a lot of skilled people and there is a lot of smart thinking that goes with sales and marketing.

Cons

Sometimes, I feel a bit like my department is shut off from the rest of the company. Information is sometimes hard to get about the company's performance.

Pros

-Decent benefits -Fun coworkers -Quirky CEO -Free beverages -Catered lunchs

Cons

Upper management is a joke. They have no experience in managing more then a checkbook, and have been promoted based on the speed of growth of the company, and "Talk time" from when they telemarketed for their region. The company does not adhere to nor recognize expertise and experience, yet instead embraces unnecessary and wasteful changes that do nothing but upset the businesses they represent, and throw company money away. This is no longer an Andrew Mason vision, yet a company going public grasping at straws to get an edge on the competition, and doing it very poorly. If you have so much as managed a Circle K, this job is beneath you. This is an entry level job at best. However if you have no family, no expenses, and just graduated college and have a desire to be a telemarketer alongside good-looking people...this job is for you!
