Pros

The paid time off plan was very generous, 20 days a year and the hours were fair too. They did not want you to work more than 40 hours a week, which is very cool. You can wear whatever you want and their are plenty of extra curricular activities if you are in to that. Also, most managers and trainers are helpful and offer solid advice on how to better do your job and motivate you with out being too negative. Commission plan is good when you are selling contracts.

Cons

The worst part is being on the phone and talking to unpleasant people that do not want to speak with you. Sitting in a cubicle for 8 hours a day calling 50 people can be kind of a drag when no one answers. A lot of little rules you need to learn and follow. The base pay is pretty low.

Pros

The culture is generally positive, and leadership is accessible. Management is willing to meet with employees and listen to concerns. There are talented people throughout the organization, and the work can be rewarding if you enjoy sales and helping businesses grow.

Cons

The biggest challenge is the compensation structure. The company promotes uncapped commissions, but many employees feel earnings are effectively controlled through continually increasing quotas and changing performance targets. Revenue and nominal goals are adjusted so frequently that it can feel like the finish line is always moving. What's particularly frustrating is that the majority of the sales team often struggles to reach 100% of quota, yet goals continue to rise. This creates the perception that compensation expense is being managed through quota increases rather than by allowing top performers to fully benefit from the revenue they generate. Over time, this can discourage high achievers. Employees who consistently perform well are often expected to deliver significantly more results each year just to maintain the same level of compensation. When exceptional performance is met with ever-increasing targets instead of proportionally increasing rewards, motivation suffers.
