Pros

The people you work with are friendly

Cons

I don’t even know where to begin... they will try to sell you on the “fun, young” culture to cover up how bad the actual job is. You are expected to work extremely long hours and prospecting of clients is expected to be done outside of work and on weekends. This company burns relationships with clients because of their sales tactics. This job can be extremely degrading at times; you are nothing but a number to this company and there is a ton of criticism. I would avoid working here at all costs.

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.
