Pros

Free bagels every Friday, convenient location to several CTA lines, very nice view.

Cons

I was discriminated for my sexual orientation by a manager and several peers around me. This company follows a puppy mill model, and hire & fire anywhere from 3-5 people weekly. Management prefers to set unrealistic expectations for proven and tenured salespeople who are slumping instead of letting go of unproven trainees. The product offered is subpar at best. Approximately 83% of the sales I made led to some sort of issue (poor quality, inaccurate/short count, untimely delivery, etc). It is very difficult to make more than $2,000/month. Favoritism plays an enormous factor as upper management chooses who receives quality leads who are ready to make a significant purchase. Many talented account executives were forced out fairly quickly due to unrealistic goals set by management through receiving the lowest tiered leads.

Pros

The only good thing about this place is the day you leave. By then you will realize it was all smoke and mirrors, empty promises and broken dreams. The compensation you are promised is never properly applied and since they scam all their clients, they have no problem scamming you.

Cons

If you are capable of doing any sales you will soon see that 90% of your deals will come back with issues. The other 10% that don't is because a client never used the data. In short order you will find your name on the RipOff Report, so if you value your reputation, Exact Data will make sure and ruin that for you in short order. This place sees more turnover that a Las Vegas brothel and probably more sexual harassment than one too.

Pros

The environment is warm, and inviting at the beginning. I learned more about how sales works.

Cons

The company is not very honest about how their draw and commission works, you learn by talking to other employees at the company. They will tell you that you will make your draw and 20% commission on your sales but it is really a 100% commission job and you are paid commission off margin. If you are a college graduate, DO NOT waste your time even interviewing. Exact Data is NOT HONEST with their customers and training employees; all the company cares about is making money no matter what. The company is a professional manipulator when it comes to their customers and training employees. The company has a very high turnover rate for a REASON! Also, I know for a fact that Exact Data pays employees to write positive reviews about the company.
