Pros

- met some good friends (but we were all trauma bonding so not sure if this is a pro) - social environment, some fun happy hours and events - will hire pretty much anyone out of college if you appear to be sociable and have decent communciation skills. They provide training to you so it's a great place to get your foot in the door. However you should plan to leave very shortly afterwards.

Cons

- Horrible place for your mental health and say goodbye to work life balance - you will be stressed all the time - All managers are heavy on micromanagement, they promote based on performance vs if the person is ready for management so this leads to a lot immature folks to become managers. They also don't provide much in the way of training to these young managers. - Stressful work environment, they will work you hard with cold calling and hitting your numbers and track how many calls you make - Some managers use intimidation tactics, manipulation, and overall have low ethics. I've seen managers steal accounts and leads from their reports. - Will fire the low performers behind closed doors so people always seem to disappear and creates a very fearful, uneasy environment - White Male dominant environment especially in leadership, not much in the way of compassion, empathy or understanding here

Pros

Team is pretty cool, but still very argumentative

Cons

Sexist environment where they favor women. All entry level men that come there are immediately looked down upon and given a negative outlook. I got yelled at for going on vacation with my family. All they care about is making money and not about your own personal well being.

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN

Pros

I’ll bet my life you are coming out of college right now. You have your whole life ahead of you to pick any other company in the world than this one.

Cons

Literally everything. I could go on for days. Have fun doing homework EVERY night to cold call all next day. Every manager there has never worked a day at another company so the ~7 people in the office that aren’t months out of undergrad, are the ones that dictate the entire business. Also the pay is worse than any other entry level job.
