Pros

If you're looking to get your feet wet in sales, this is the place for you. Ultimately everything you do is sales (cliche saying I know). RoadRunner typically hires Business Development Representatives (BDR) out of college, but there is still quite a few BDRs that are ranging in age from 25-50, I'm guessing. The culture is what sold me here. It's an amazing place with friendly people and a very beautiful office space. There is the aspect of work-hard, play-hard here as on most sales floors. You have almost 100 people with your position in the office, so asking for help with anything is super easy. The benefits are definitely top 20% of most other employers in the city. And at the end of the day, you are helping save the environment - which makes it all worth it in my opinion.

Cons

There is always going to be highs and lows. The commission structure is not the greatest to be had, but there is room for career advancement rather quickly which comes with raises. Coming from a previous sales role, I can say that most places that pay high commissions do not even offer a base salary (so more of a pro here). Some of the incentives aren't necessarily as titillating as they're made out to be, but they are incentives nonetheless.

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
