Pros

they give you a guarantee to get started. if you have a good office, you won't have to do much prospecting, you can just close leads that come in

Cons

their vehicle program sucks. get ready to pay JCI $275/mo as a 'personal use charge' to drive the little car every month. customers dislike JCI invoicing. sales management is obsessed with SalesForce hygiene even if you exceed quota regularly
