Pros

Good base salary for an entry level job. Decent earning potential right out of college. Excellent training program to develop lifelong sales skills.

Cons

Operates with a heavily activity driven model, results in do work for works sake (i.e. expected number of phone calls per day. Not a lot of room for growth and feels almost oppressive in the oversight. High turnover due to burnouts.
