      Pros

      + the people you meet (great individuals) + benefits (if you are successful, you will have fun, parties etc... a typical sales environment) + sales education and coaching: If your manager knows what she/he is doing and you are open-minded for constructive feedback + if you're doing good, the pay is solid for a starting position in Sales

      Cons

      - 75% of the day is one sided work and repetitive, but if you want to become good in sales, you need client exposure - which is what you get here B2B (90% via phone) - - low base salary: Sometimes things are not going as well as you'd like them to go, you'll be asked to perform better. Its all in the numbers - result-focused (well.. its a sales position) - monthly sales targets (gives you a lot of pressure, quarterly might be better) - micromanagement, especially in the beginning (depending though on seniority)

      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.
