Pros

Pay Rate/Compensation not bad hours not bad breakfast on fridays.

Cons

#1 - Not Honest People your working for. I was constantly yelled at for things like: Identifying myself to employees at other companies, answering direct questions with direct answers. I was encouraged to lie, or lie by omission, to potential clients (ug) #2 - They still think this is sales 101 from 1980. They think a good salesman should be trickery and rude. I was told, WORD FOR WORD: 'It's ok to be mean to them..." in reference to potential clients. They will have you push 'urgency' instead of value, which is really ridiculous. This approach may have been helpful when they started 20 years ago and had no clients, but now they have a list of prestigious clients, have done good work, and still sell like hustling beginners instead of focusing on the value they can offer. #3 - 'Managers' will constantly talk to you like you're their poor dumb child, they will constantly berate you to 'help you get it right.' Again, this is 2015, get with the times. #4 - WILL PROBABLY STIFF YOU ON LAST PAYCHECK, THEY DID IT TO ME. While it was only a couple hundred bucks off, if this isn't concerning for the prospective employee, I don't know what would be. How can you tell my review is 100%? Watch carefully when you show up to interview. You will notice a couple empty seats here and there on a floor of around 20ish. You will immediately notice just how polished the CEO's delivery is when he's telling you about the company, and how it seems like they do the introduction thing every singe week. That's because they DO. With a sales floor no bigger than 25 seats, they are still having to hire new people every 1-2 weeks. They are technically hiring more people every hear then their entire sales floor worth of agents. When a company has turnover this high with decent pay, it should tell you one thing: Poor. Management. If you last 2 months, it will be a lot longer than most I'm betting. So again, the cons: Not Honest. Behind the times(in an ethical way, which will probably kill them off soon enough) Managers constantly berate you Can't Trust Them to do Payroll Honestly.

Pros

Management and employees are somewhat pleasant. Free Wi-fi and coffee. A pretty good training program. Ample parking. Casual Fridays you can wear jeans.

Cons

Employees are coming and going every week even though there are only 30 seats in there. Multiple people there are convicted felons. Numerous people were back for a second or third time, seems unusual. A good fit if you're a felon with no conscience. I was approached my first week and asked if I wanted to buy drugs. Script you read from is loaded with 20-30 year old sales tactics. If client doesn't want to pay that rate, guess what, If I can get my manager to sign off on this and I'm not sure he will...or a spot just opened up. I was there for a month, 2 weeks were training, before being let go.

Boiler room

Pros

Nice C.O.O., nice training staff, good training program, very motivated company

Cons

True boiler room, 100+ calls a day. They don't need talented sales people with proven track records of awesomeness, they need monkeys to push buttons. This is where talented sales people go to die.
