Pros

- Survive long enough and you will be ready to sell sand in the desert, sales are tough to get, pressure is high but this will help you become a much better sales professional. Probably one of the best places to be if you want to become a sales wolf! - Cool young party environment, Erasmus style office with nice people from all around the world. Happy hours, ping pong and music always on. - The food!! Its awesome and there is plenty!!!

Cons

- No career opportunities, no matter how veteran. Most veterans and top sellers left because of that, so basically, if you are good enough to survive and become a veteran you will end up leaving due to lack of growth opportunities (both vertical and horizontal). - If you are not good selling you will not become a veteran... Here's a fun fact: People get fired from one day to another and are not even allowed to say goodbye to their colleagues. You come in the morning, eating your cereal, manager taps you in the shoulder and tells you to pack up your stuff and leave quietly. On the bright side, thats what sales is all about, you sell well, you will make money and be save, if you don't find something else - (The Pro about the food was actually sarcasm... sorry!) - Don't dare to arrive 5 minutes late in the morning even if you were working until late in the night yesterday. After all its a sales job and hours count much more than final revenue results... ein? By the way, if you want to hit your targets better get confortable as you will quite likely be making extra hours. - I will not make any comments on the quality of the product, client satisfaction and retention rate.

Pros

Great coworkers who genuinely care about one another and many front-line managers do their best to support their teams despite constant organizational challenges. The company can provide valuable experience in sales, customer retention, and learning how to operate in a very fast-paced environment.

Cons

Compensation is far below market despite leadership positioning it as competitive, with commission structures that are unpredictable and often unattainable. Job security feels entirely dependent on management style rather than consistent standards, with some employees coached fairly while others are disciplined or terminated over minor mistakes. The sales organization creates significant downstream issues through aggressive sales practices, forcing retention teams into highly reactive customer conversations. Attrition is the worst I have experienced in my career, promotion into management often results in a pay cut for top performers, and the culture creates constant anxiety where employees feel like they are walking on eggshells. Top performers are often not the most skilled employees, but those who have learned how to manipulate loopholes and work around processes.
