Pros

None that I saw while there.

Cons

CEO is the worst human ever. He hates sales people and thinks you should be grateful to work there. Dungeon-like work environment, poor leadership, no marketing dept, leads are a joke, no systems to work with, homegrown CRM is a joke with nothing but a bunch of duplicates, clock in and out, toxic culture from the top down, the compensation plan is a joke - no way to make money. No opportunity to advance AT ALL.

Pros

Free coffee and soda that's it.

Cons

Where do you even start. The company has no direction and the stock has dropped over $70 in a year. All the cutbacks that they make to cover losses come from reps compensation. You have to clock in and clock out everyday like you work in a candy factory and if you miss clocking in or clocking out they fire you. So many lazy people .They equip you with a laptop from 2017 that barely works and an iPhone SE from 2006. Most of the prospects block the numbers so cogent can't call . They have no one to sell to.
