      Pros

      The pay wasn't bad since they gave you a base salary before commission.

      Cons

      Constantly expected to spend free time with co-workers (If you don't go to all the after-hour activities, then you are seen as not a team player. A lot of work expected to be completed at home since you are expected to spend all your time in the office on the phone. Constant pressure to find and call personal numbers of potential clients to "trick" them into talking to us. Managing Directors and Sales Managers are not experienced, and don't know how to properly lead people. Turnover of employees in offices was very high while I worked there, with many people only staying a few months.

      Great for people right out of college, not worth it if you're experienced

      Pros

      - Fun, young people - Ability to learn a lot in a short period of time and get some good experience - Opportunity to make really good money if you work for it I'd recommend this job for any recent grad who's looking to work hard and get some experience. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated and this wound up being a good fit. I got some good experience that can now be applied to high level jobs. I also made some really good money (but I worked for it!).

      Cons

      - Poor communication between upper mgmt and the rest of the company - The benefits package is not great - No 401K match - Mgmt will sometimes make you feel guilty about taking time off or not attending "optional" events (office dinners, etc.) - Very little training for new managers - Get the feeling upper management is "winging" it often, seems like they throw a bunch of idea at the wall to see what sticks If you're experienced, you'll wind up taking a pay cut compared to other offers. Meltwater won't take into consideration what you're currently making, what other offers you receive, etc. It's a very rigid salary structure.
