Pros

-Great people, fun work environment -Excellent career growth opportunities -Opportunity to make an infinite amount of money if you are successful -Great training -An opportunity to learn a lot about companies in Boston and how businesses wok -Great place to develop sales/business skills such as: lead generation, client relationships, negotiations, time management, handling rejection, etc which will help you succeed in any company -You always know where you stand and know what you need to do to get a raise or promotion -Coworkers are very competitive yet supportive -They days go by fast! -This job can be very rewarding and you can make a difference for people -Great way to expand your own personal and professional networks even if you don't stay with the company -lots of fun perks

Cons

-High turnover rate, although that is expected with any sales job -The days are very structured which helps you manage your time but can be annoying -The first three months or so are challenging and can be very frustrating if you don't stay motivated and put in 100% every day. You have to generate leads and find clients on your own so if you dont put in the effort from day 1 you will struggle -It can take a while to get going and can take longer than expected to make a lot of money, even if you are generating revenue for the company but when you do it is worth it -Outdated technology! -Strange interview process

Pros

Great place to experience rejection. If you take it personally then this isn't the place for you. If you have a tough skin then you will be fine. I'm glad I got the oppurtunity to work here at a young age. (just out of college). Great people to work with in the "trenches". Also, learn to develop good cold calling skills if there is such a thing.

Cons

Micro management is the death of all business. It stifles creativity and problem solving, need to get away from the "amway" atmosphere. If I place someone I don't need to give everyone a high five. Just let me do my job. I feel bad selling something that does not exist most of the time. How can one believe in selling some hing that doesn't exist? If we don't have the right candidate, then come clean, don't waste time trying to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*t. One thing I've learned as a business owner (that's right) is that people can sniff out a fraud. You will gain respect and trust not telling lies. This company seems to have a bad reputation as a over promise/under deliver provider as opposed to the opposite. All in all a great learning experience that I will always be greatful for ,but you will have to drink the koolaid to make it past the first week. Also, I don't know how they got away with competing with each other under the same parent company in Boston. I guess they just want to hit a homerun everytime by making you lie about affiliations.

Pros

Highly Desireable Pay Structure for Senior Management Complete merit based advancement / promotion structure A level Sales / Management Training Fosters entreprenuerial spirit. Hands on MBA in building relationships with companies / businesses of all different industries and structures from the Fortune 100 to the tech start up to the heavily regulated industry.

Cons

The biggest reasons why people end up not being succesful in stride is that you need to have an entprenuerial mindset. It is not an organization where the "staff mentality" is encouraged.
