Pros

- Good for entry level employees to build experience. - I can't think of any good thing to say anymore.

Cons

- Inexperience management - people that are friends or in a relationship or married to upper management gets promoted to senior role despite of their lack of leadership skills or experience. - High turnover of staff - people come and go.... Mass firing... definitely not a stable place to work. You come to the office and be surprised that half of the office is gone.. They do it in the most unethical way. They seriously do not care about their employees. - The management expects you to work atleast 10 - 14 hours a day or for some people longer and still do work on the weekends and do not get paid or get time in lieu for it. People are forced to work long hours because everyone is over worked. - They only care about their sales people but forget about the other employees who works really hard to be able to help drive the sales. Operations staff are the most unappreciated in the company despite of their hard work. HR and Manager do not respect operations unless they are friends or married or in a relationship with them. - When you first started in this company, they will promise you so much like training, stability and growth but none of those happened. *Piece of advice to new comer.... run and start looking for a new job! If I have a choice giving 0/5 I will give it!

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
