Pros

Initial salary and benefits are great. (Free Cable, Internet and Phone service) Great Medical and dental all within the first month. Nice base and ramp up commission.

Cons

Commission is paid for installations which they have serious issues with. Management style is bullying and are very poor communicators. Not a healthy work environment. Territories are said to exist but really don't. There is a lot of conflicting information. ex. new hires are told they have two months to ramp up during training but then the sales managers badger them to sell right out of the gate. Long and drawn out sales meetings from 9-11 a.m. every day (prime selling time) just to go over yesterday's numbers and discuss a lot of stuff that should be side bar conversations. Then if you're not a favorite (has nothing to do with a producer by the way) then you have to account for every minute of the day. managers follow you around in the field and try to "catch" you not working. Very odd management style. The free service provided as a benefit kept having outages and service interruptions. Equipment had to be swapped out twice so far. unhealthy environment. Get everything in writing and save it in a safe place.
