Business outlook
Pros
You learn A LOT, very quickly. You learn to speak on the phone (you literally do this all day). You learn to establish an executive presence which is very important in being successful in sales. You also learn cold, hard, sales. Meltwater will certainly teach you how to sell, and how to do it good.
Cons
Zero work/life balance. You will be working very long hours, way beyond the 9-6pm that you are salaried for. If you don't put in these extra hours it will show because you won't hit your monthly quota. You also better have great organization skills or you will run into some big problems.
