Pros

Good sales experience for someone who doesn't know much about sales. Never have to work past 5:15. Really nice employees. Young work environment if you are in your 20's.

Cons

Your colleagues and teammates will quit or get fired within a few weeks or months. I started with around 15 people in my training class, but when I left there were only 3 people remaining. The morale is really low and there's not a lot of job certainty. You can hit all of your KPI's, such as meetings booked, meetings held, opportunities approved and monthly recurring revenue and still not get promoted. You can go above and beyond for this company and exceed all of your goals and still not get what you deserve. That's exactly what happened to me and someone else on my team. The people who are underperforming and not doing well are threatened that they are going to get fired or put on a performance plan. Upper managements advice is "keep grinding" , "make more calls" "I know it's tough out there but keep giving it your all". You will have 3 meetings a day on somedays where they are essentially meaningless and where nothing groundbreaking/insightful is brought up in those meetings.

Pros

Most money I've ever made in this type of role. Manageable workload for the most part, unless you grab too many complex tickets or have things start to go sideways. Great benefits. Fun team atmosphere and culture. Have seen many people on my team get promoted into higher roles so far, so I feel like I can take my path in my own hands and push it as far as I want.

Cons

Disorganized and constantly evolving processes that live and die by "FYI's", many that you only suss out when you come across a new situation. They've tried to codify a lot of processes and have done a good job, but many are still "you need to find out in order to know". No robust task system that is oriented by roles and expectations/capabilities rather than individual's names, which is... ponderous. Need a role to do something? Go look in a directory for the person doing that at the moment (subject to change, may not be updated/old info, person could be on vacation, etc) then send it to them, rather than dropping a task in a bucket that someone assigned to that role sees. The difference sounds small but it's immense in practice. Some of the fees and charges a customer can accrue are difficult to explain because they're nakedly bill stuffing.
