Pros

Nice location and the people were nice.

Cons

Literally everything else. I have not had straight up panic about showing up to work before this job. They pretty much tell you to abandon your morals at the door to convince people to take their bad deals like Groupon is doing them a favor. They don't care about the person just the numbers. Work life balance? Hahaha they say that but then gently hint that you should be doing research while you're at home and praise the people who take calls outside of work hours. They hire in large groups of people and throw them in the deep end immediately so they can get rid of the people who aren't up to their arbitrary standards. How about focus on retention of the people you do hire? Being worried you could get fired at any moment causes unnecessary extra stress on people. The turnover rate must be crazy cause I think there was maybe one person I met who was with the company for more than a year so everyone in management is still pretty freaking new.

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
