Pros

Benefits are awesome. Compensation can be good. Many opportunities to advance and move up.

Cons

Only salespeople that like to go out and kill need apply. Turn over is VERY high. They burn through candidates who've just graduated, looking for the few natural killers. The better you are at their kind of sales, the quicker they move you into management. But in my experience, the better the salesperson, the worse the manager.

Pros

It taught you the hardship of cold call sales. Taught you how to build value when none appeared. Young environment.

Cons

Upper management was hard to communicate to. Not a positive work environment. Not supportive in allowing you to take off vacation days.
