Pros

First 2 months, you take home 50% of whatever you sell. If you are a corporate soldier desperate for a job, this ones for you Fast track to growth if you like to do internal PR, they will escalate your title for you as well Fun corporate vibes, young team with lots of team activities to show everyone is in it together Finish at 6 so you can go home early and reflect on your day and how you can improve/conjure up strength for the next day. Parties are great - sometimes disastrous enough to leave a 5 million hole in the organization

Cons

Forced PR - you have to be a witness to understand this Its a boot camp - classroom style hourly check up on your calls / catchups to ensure you are being productive Managers need to prove themselves so they "manage" you to show that they can be managers? You can get fired in an hour if you dont belong to the PR family You can promoted in 2 hours if you conform to the PR. Management & promotions are a joke Titles are escalated to empower call centre managers to feel like they are managing directors when they manage 1 full-time employee. No business ethics, forced timelines on clients to reach personal quota Fish fight for clients/leads

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.
