Pros

Learning about the ecommerce and merchant services industries. They also have a gym and cafe located inside the building.

Cons

I went through four different managers and several commission plan changes in two years of being there. No one knew what was going on or how we were getting paid. Reps would always be complaining about leads and researching your sale to see if you were cheating somehow by getting referrals. Reps are always reporting other reps to HR . Management would be more focused on your talk time and would threaten to fire you if you didn't hit your numbers. Very stressful work environment .
