      Pros

      Good initial training Real possibility to make a lot of money Culture can be fun - but very male-oriented

      Cons

      Trapped in a monthly cycle Never make as much as they promise you Management shuffles are constantly occurring Plateau after 6 months, very little development after that. Huge Attrition rate of staff (circa 60% a year in some teams)

      Pros

      Great place for new recruiters to gain experience. A lot to learn. Younger crowd, fun teams.

      Cons

      Competitive, people that weren't succeeding would be put on PIPs and eventually let go. Can be some micro-managing. Not all managers created equal - some great, some not so great.
