Pros

The people really make the days great. Many of the people are fun and very funny happy people. Management was nice. I drove a nicer car than any other employee

Cons

I drove a nicer car than any other employee Sales calls are going to scripts, makes me want to vomit. Don't call an office environment a Sales hub if you make your employees sell using a script. That's not sales! The company is a bunch of tight wads and don't want to pay their employees bonuses. I was a high performing sales person and received a quarterly bonus of exactly 0 dollars (zip, zilch, zero). The bonus system works as such: -You will receive a WHOPPING 1.5% of profit margins on your sales -You will also receive an incentive based on how many calls you make, how close you stay to the script, and new leads. They call the position an inside sales rep in Minneapolis. But if you get the job please understand that you will be called a Call Center Rep. If you look to be working at a telemarketing company then you found it. You will go for weekly reviews of your calls because you are recorded at all times.
