Pros

They will dangle the promise you can make money. You can’t.

Cons

This is possibly the worst organization you can land. I would avoid it the negative reviews are not lying and the positive ones recently are paid for on indeed and Glassdoor. They will play favorites to an extreme, you will be a glorified SDR. Honestly I could go on. There is a reason the average tenure is under a year, they will tell you that is normal sales. It is not. You can also feel free to look up the product and service reviews, they are everywhere.

Salary was good for an entry level position.
