Pros

People say "culture" but is a bunch of brainwashing to get you to have a friend. They started learning rings which was nice but they don't accomplish anything. The managers couldn't do the jobs they expect their subordinates to do and they sit in taller desks to make sure their workers know they are the overlords

Cons

Selling a sub par product. You will have 2 other teams who can poach your sales at any time. They have "sales collisions" and if you are on a favorited team you will get the sale. Imagine working on an agent for months and you go to lunch and come back and someone else booked the sale. You would think you would get it because that have I M P A C T values. Nope. You are out of luck. Lunch just cost you $200. Just look at how often they are trying to get new reps in. It isn't because they are growing. They are replacing. 2 people remain out of my class that was hired less than a year ago. There were 15+ people in that class. Very telling

Pros

great location, pretty cool people within the org, great perks and bennies, training provided, stocked kitchen, lots of parties with food and booze, start early and get off early...great for happy hour activities.

Cons

cheerleader management style that over manages, have to make a million calls a day to an industry that doesn't care to hear from you, used car sales tactics, always in meetings if not on the phone, call center, titles are BS, no advancement or lateral movement, definitely do not hire within, required to drink the kool-aid, cold calling all day long, phone jockey, cannot leave your seat for more than 5mins or you will be questioned why you were gone, feel cheap and sleazy by the end of your day selling products that literally cancel each other out, if you work with a client you will have the ability to lose your sale if they call in and your not available and the call goes to the inbound team (you have to specifically tell each person your working with to ask for you by name and deny any other help from any other person within the company...lots of deals are stolen due to this and there is no way to work it out). Sales force is just a worthless front for all those other people in the organization that are more important and worth more to the company IE Designers, Network engineers, Web/Mobile based development, VP's, Marketing/Advertising...anyone not in sales basically. You will be treated well in the beginning but by the time your out of training you quickly become just a drone dialing away.

Pros

Their benefits are very nice. Sales reps are overall good people. I haven't seen many other positives since I've been there.

Cons

Insane quotas. They have doubled since I've worked there in the past 8 months. Managers are arrogant and don't know how to sell themselves. Commissions are cut in half for selling much more. These other reviews are fake. Read the negative reviews, they are MUCH more accurate. I know multiple people who have quit from account management and strategic accounts because quotas are out of control. We don't learn our quotas until one week into the month. I know for a fact people who cheat the system are rewarded, while others are disrespected and talked down to. You won't be happy selling to agents when you know it won't work but you have a crazy new sub quota for Wall Street to think we are doing well and have long term growth. Agent cancellations are higher than ever.
