Lots of potential, no leadership or career development
Pros
-Free Lunch on Friday -Happy hours roughly every other quarter -Entry level job to gain experience
Cons
Would not stay there past one year if you're serious about sales. Much like typical sales jobs, this job starts you off in business development, unlike typical sales roles there is no chance that you will eventually end up selling anything but time. The side of the business that sells sales training, prospecting, and meeting scheduling techniques is closed. Much of that work going to a network of outsourced professionals. It is very ironic that a company that claims to prepare you for a career in sales and has an entire department geared towards training inside sales teams admits their "rock stars" know nothing about the full sales cycle. They don't seem to have any interest in teaching anyone either. They will bring one or two employees to that side of the business every once in a while to give off the impression that career development exist. That employee will be given a slightly higher salary(2K) scheduling for the in house sales trainers. The only qualifications the manager have is that they excelled in a scheduling role, they have no "people" skills and often act as the source of gossip. Their idea of coaching is telling employee A,B,C how they did it. There is no desire to try to understand how each person may respond to coaching. The managers have a big hand in assigning clients, so you better cuddle up. Your success greatly depends on what client you are assigned. The CEO has the potential to be a contributing member of the company but is lazy. His attitude is that of a Fortune 500, not of a 30 person company with 1 small office. The "small company" feel is non-existent as you may have the opportunity to interact with upper management once a month.
