Cbeyond Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Cbeyond full-time for more than a year

Pros – It is a great place if you are just getting into the sales game. If you can last 6 months you can get a job anywhere doing sales. weekends off are great

Cons – the technology is outdated no one wants T1's and the prices are not an easy sale. plus turnaround time on closing a deal can be 1-3 months. long work days 7:30 meetings out on the road all day and then back to the office at night.

Pros – Everyone is very friendly. Excellent training. Great commission structure. Potential is high if you close a lot of deals. You need to do a lot of cold calling in order to build your funnel. Knocking on doors from business to business. Lots of incentives.

Cons – When cold calling some people are very rude. There is a lot of micro management. This job is not for everyone and can be very stressful.
