Pros
Some of the best coworkers you will ever have that will soon become some of your closest friends, mostly because the pains of working at Meltwater will bring you closer together. Fun closing nights if and only if you are on quota Overall good sales training, mostly because you constantly shoving contracts down client's throats, but the training and skills will allow you to have good job prospects once you are able to get out
Cons
The aggressive sales tactics here are astonishing and management only cares about the bottoms line number at the end of the day. You are expected to sell insane amounts in client success while simultaneously being their "trusted consultant". Newsflash no one is going to trust you or even want to renew when you have this big an emphasis on upselling these people stuff they don't want or need. You are treated like a child both professionally and personally. You will have your talk time and dials monitored and you will be reprimanded or shamed if it is under a certain number or if you are at the bottom of the pack for anything. You constantly being ranked and stacked / pitted against your peers, which they think is motivating but it absolutely is not. They run pointless competitions week after week for contracts, talk time, etc. all for a 25$ gift card that they likely will forget to give you just to make you work even harder. You will bring in 3x as much $ for the company than your entire salary in just one month. Meltwater pays SO far below the industry standard its actually a joke. They get people new out of college and sell you on the fun team events and coworkers so you forget just how mistreated and underpaid you are. If you are at your desk 1 minute past the designated lunch hours or start times, you will be pulled into a room for a talking to as well. You will be forced to use your very limited PTO if you have to step out for a moment to go to the doctor. Taking off time or leaving for personal reasons is extremely frowned upon.
