Pros

The first two days were ok when the wolves had their sheep suit zipped up. Training on the use of sales force which is a transferable skill.

Cons

If I could give 0 stars I would. I read every negative review and thought I would give the company the benefit of doubt and I shouldn't have bothered. Boiler room is an understatement. The culture is one of bullying and seriously unacceptable and unprofessional behaviour such as sickening laddish "banter", 7 hours on your feet because you are not allowed to sit down, ridiculously under qualified management barking orders at you, an inferior product, 0 leads and 100% cold call and lead sourcing which you have to do in your own time as you're only given an hour a day to do it in and the most closed group of co-workers you'll ever meet. It's very unwelcoming and the commission potential is minimal. You may read this and fall for what they say to you in the interview which is "people on here complain about trivial things like the lack of kitchen or facilities". Quite frankly that was the least of my worries. Work/life balance is non existent. In summary working here is like being in a playground in a very rough school and the staff turnover is the highest you will ever encounter.

Pros

Supportive team, collaboration within the team

Cons

You never get a raise or promotion, not even annual inflation adjustment. Higher management doesn’t care about you or any other employees. They are only concern about generating more revenue without even appreciating or giving any perks to their employees.
