Pros

Learned how to sell myself to others, persistence and agressiveness.

Cons

The pay was mediocre at best. Cold calling was required, do you remember how happy you were the last time an insurance salesmen burst in on your free time? Coming from the other side of the phone line, believe me he was just as miserable.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
