Pros

Hours and flex schedule are great. PTO is pretty good and for the most part if you perform your metrics based responsibilities, management leaves you alone. The mechanics of the actual job are very simple. If you are a "certain kind" of sales person, the money can be good.

Cons

Training is almost nonexistent. You are in a classroom for seven days and then placed in a sink or swim environment. They speak of teamwork and helping your fellow SBA, but the metrics are such to where that is almost impossible. You almost have to have an everyman for himself attitude to excel. Performing at a good money making level is tricky, and supervisory guidance is only given to those that intuitively know which questions to ask, so quite a few talented people get fired CUZ they don't get attention. Database management does not exist except for those that have already achieved success, so most of the callers are forced to wade unnecessarily through garbage leads that have been beat up beyond recognition. There is also a very annoying micro managing cloud that is sublime, and management will never admit to having.

Pros

It's pretty easy to get hired because they had a very high turnover in the SBA role. The initial training was good. The break room was very nice. The office was aesthetically okay for a cube farm. The pay was competitive, the bonuses came in the form of VISA or AMEX gift cards. Friendly coworkers. If you can hang out for a year or so, you can get another business development job anywhere in town. You'll be special.

Cons

Do not miss more than your one day off during the probation period. The drudgery was expectedly relentless in that role. Most people either quit within three months to a year, or you could be "quitted" involuntarily because of market fluctuations, or if you get on the wrong side of the floor management through no fault of your own, other than they simply do not like you. You'll be put in a situation where you get mostly voicemails or unqualified prospects that should have been vetted, and you'll be terminated for not making sales through your ever-present probation periods. Expect to be on probation throughout your stay. Co-workers in other departments and upper management could be very condescending to the bottom of the company food chain, the SBAs.
