      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great solutions for employers looking to hire interns and co-ops.

      Cons

      -The amount of work that needs to be done to close a $50k deal is the same as closing a 7-figure deal elsewhere. -Impatient leadership -Conflicting direction given by leadership -All sales people were told that they should be stressed, rather than highlight the challenges and provide guidance
