      Pros

      Great environment, fantastic mission, ability to see the world and make like long friends. The average employee is in their 20's and well educated. Definitely has a work hard-play hard mentality.

      Cons

      Not alot of growth potential to advance career-wise. Pay is on the low side. Advancing to more senior roles can often be a popularity contest. Managers are also on the young side and not able to motivate teams adequately. Because it is a family owned company not alot of transparency on how strategic decisions are made.

      Pros

      Well structured, comprehensive formal training. Perks and benefits

      Cons

      Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
