Pros

Great for an 18 - 25 year old, single, entry level employee that enjoys work to the point that you have no life beyond work. Great company if you have no regular or scheduled commitments, or any interests beyond work. Also a great opportunity to see how a successful fast growing, extremely profitable company, can get it so wrong when it comes to their number 1 resource.

Cons

If you have a family, a full life, or previous experience with a well run company, this is not the place for you! Excessive travel and hours required to meet targets, especially if your market is not local. Then required to attend after hours drinking/social events if you want to be considered a team player, or have any chance of moving beyond your current position. Promotions are based on your networking skills - not on your performance. Very immature and inexperienced management team in most offices. Extremely cliquey and managers love to micro manage and give negative feedback to employees. No matter how much effort you put in it will never be enough for this company. The focus is ALWAYS on how much more you could have achieved in your market. Many employees are completely demotivated as management has no understanding or experience in how to deliver feedback or motivate employees.
