Pros

Upbeat interview process and the prospect to work for a well known brand. Downtown Seattle waterfront bldg.

Cons

Open floor setting where people can see and hear each other at all time. Worst setting for making calls to clients. Very hight turnover rate, likely 70%-80%. Managed by a variety of people who fly in from out of town every week. Selling avery tired line of SEO/SEM that most business can and should self manage. Cultural clash between old Seattle PI sales reps and new sales reps that have to sell non PI ad space.
