Pros

Good pay and the product is good

Cons

0 marketing leads for sponsors Managers have their own targets so if there are good marketing leads managers would likely keep them Very old school sales methods Salesforce is a mess Everyone calls everyone so prospects are constantly getting cold calls from different team members. Delivery is inconsistent and effects client relationships reducing chances of success. Wouldn't recommend it just because it's such an intensley insecure environment.
