Pros

- you meet very nice people, and become very close with your team. Pretty much all I can think of

Cons

- day ends at 530 but you are told/expected to work longer, without overtime, and its a problem if you leave when the day is over - the turnover is ridiculous because people realized they were sold something completely different when they started - you are expected to be on the phone day in and day out, and do client work on your own time which piles up extremely quickly - management has no training to become a manager - its basically a high school, cliques, drama, who is with who, and its extremely easy to not fit in if you don't partake in social activities because you have a life outside of work... which is unheard of here - no work life balance at all .. perfect example the 'norm' is to have meetings 530 on a Friday, and no one is bothered by it because this is their entire life - their EOY goal is to retain more employees... enough said.

Pros

The product is cool and if properly onboarded customers will get value from it. Coworkers are fairly social If you are new to sales would be a good place to learn the basics

Cons

Probably the cheapest company I have ever worked for. Benefits are below standard, they changed the commission plan every year I was there so that you would make less money, and you are expected to share hotel rooms when you travel. Look up Meltwater on Reddit or LinkedIn. They are known for very aggressive sales tactics which you will be forced to implement on your customers. A culture of micromanagement that comes from the top down. Virtually no avenue for promotion unless you are willing to move or get lucky and someone leaves.
