Pros

Training is solid and the group was good to hangout, I am glad that I met so many lifetime friends there

Cons

Well, where to begin: 1. The company indicated it has flat management, however, it does not have a management at all... leaders are good sales 2. Trust the bad reviews you saw 3. Push clients to an edge, even the product sucks 4. Brainwashed and pushed its sales to insult potential clients no matter what time of that day 5. Only cold call, no relationship bonding 6. It will destroy your future career path and make you doubt your own ability 7. No future version, just want cash and treat its employees as pieces of trash

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.
