Pros
My salary was on the low end of acceptable for the region and they do have some guaranteed commissions for the first 6 months. They will hire recent college grads with little to no experience. You'll be hourly and overtime is strictly verboten, so you will have mandatory work/life balance.
Cons
Cogent is an absolute mess from the sales perspective. There are 500+ people in sales, over 50% of the total employee base. You will be competing with these 500 people for fewer than 2000 buildings. You are divided into "swim lanes" so the number of customers you can sell to is even lower. Think of a company. The account is taken. Along with 5 other accounts for this customer but of slightly varied spelling. And they've heard from 20 Cogent reps in the last couple years and they've literally had their IT department blacklist your entire domain so all your prospecting emails bounce back. Oh yeah baby, this is what sales is supposed to be like.
