Pros

-Tons of free stuff. Lots of free food and happy hours. -The people who work there are great. Some of my best friends in the city I've met through this job. -Willis (Sears) Tower office looking at the lake. -New CEO who I think is making positive steps to grow the company.

Cons

-Total dial slave. Boiler Room mentality. -If you aren't in your cubical during non-lunch hours, you will be asked why. This job is the first time since 8th grade that I've had to ask to go to the bathroom. You also have scheduled breaks during the day. -Top performing sales people are still yelled at for lack of activity, even if they're surpassing their sales goals and staying busy. The managers care more about dials and activity as opposed to actual sales. -You are a number to Zones, and to your managers.

Pros

The people are great, comfortable atmosphere, food provided often, plus you cant beat the Chicago office location in the sears tower with the view. This is a great entry level job and provides a lot of IT environment training.

Cons

Unrealistic bonus goals are a major problem. This will get better as business is expanded in the east. It is extremely hard to keep track of any commission that you earn and it seems that the company finds small excuses to not pay you what you believe you are earning. Few vacation days. No advancement positions besides very few could have a shot at becoming a sales manager.
