Pros

There are many perks that I appreciate, 401k, Stock Options, Great Medical Benefits , smart people to work with and helpful Managers.I am really impressed with the company transparency. You can walk up to Mr Rascoff the CEO and have a conversation with him whenever he visits Irvine office. Our Leader John B. is great, always willing to roll up his sleeves and get in the trenches with his employees . Also I like working for the #1 company in our industry! You do work hard no doubt but when you finish your work day you know you gave all you had for that day and that is very gratifying for me!

Cons

As a older employee (in my 50's) I sometimes struggle with technology and speed (although I must say my Manger is always ready to help) Also I have been penalized for not hitting call time everyday, but its part of the job requirement and is a proven success formula.

Pros

You can make good money here.

Cons

In sales, job can change often. For example: I was making good money and excelling because I am a relationship Sales person. Then they changed it to where you get the sale, and instead of being able to grow that account via that relationship you just broke into, you have to pass it to an account manager and go back to cold/robo calling. You "book" of business you recive to prospect from is a lottery. I received a book of prospects/accounts that most of the were low income, or senior living properties. They don't have a budget and have a line of renter on a waitlist. No way to convince them to spend money on advertising but you still have the same quota.
