Pros

front desk workers are talkative and peppy base plus commission, but not enough to live on

Cons

prey on entry level college grads to get them into a sales position. this is not a marketing only position. it is sales for Verizon Fios. they pride themselves on not cold calling, but that is because they get their leads from Verizon and you have to go door to door. only paid for some of your gas IF you make a sale.

Thanks for your feedback. You are correct we are a sales and marketing firm that works with Verizon. We do enjoy providing recent graduates with an opportunity to grow and develop. Unfortunately sales and marketing is not for everyone, albeit I am glad that you enjoyed talking to members of our human resources staff. Thanks again and good luck with your future endeavors.

Pros

Pros, this summer time internship gave me tons of experience to take with me, to any position I may have in the future! I learned the art of communication while really pushing myself to step out of my comfort zone. The training was so thorough and hands on! Management was completely cool with my schedule this summer, and really made me feel like part of the team, rather than a temporary intern. I can't wait to return to 212 after finishing my degree this year!!

Cons

If you don't like to work hard and play hard, this isn't the place for you!

Pros

Overall I had alot of fun at this job, and began to learn alot. The hardest part of my day was making sure I got to work on time and the rest was taking care of. I enjoyed the fact that everyday was not repetitive and it was always someone or somewhere else new. The co-workers here love to hang out and have office nights which made it the best social environment I have ran into at a job before.

Cons

Had to move to take care of my ill Grandmother and was not able to continue with the business even though I was advancing tup in the business quickly.
