Pros

Great peers, extensive training on the art of selling, good benefits, beautiful location. Can be an amazing experience if you make it through training and get a manager who likes you and doesn't micro manage.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the recruiters. They say they hire only the best, but what they really mean is they temporarily hire a group of promising candidates and see which ones they can weed out. YOU CAN BE CUT DURING TRAINING. Our group lost almost a third of the "best people" They "hired" Which is strange since the recruitment process is so long. If you do make it past the 8 weeks of training, you will be metric-ed to death and "encouraged" to work well after normal operating hours. Work life balance is an absolute lie here until you survive at least a calendar year or are a favorite of your manager.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
