Pros

Good job to take if you need something quickly and are willing to sacrifice your self-respect to make cold calls all day

Cons

Everything else. The pay is horrendous. Your day runs 9-6 instead of a normal 9-5, and even so you're guilted into working longer hours with no overtime but the expectation that you'll stay. Your manager is likely 23 years old and has never managed anything before. You're not doing any sort of "research" that was advertised, and are instead essentially working as a telemarketer. This job consists of you sending 300+ LinkedIn requests per day, emailing those people when you don't hear from them, and then cold calling them. Over and over. The supposedly "new and improved" training program (implemented because higher management has been really scared of the insanely high rates of turnover at the company) involves learning ways to dig up people's personal cell phone numbers and email addresses using various internet subscription services. At one point a training manager advised us to call targets during dinner hours so that we'd catch them while they're home near the phone. If you're uncomfortable calling someone repeatedly until they pick up, and sending someone multiple emails asking if they got your previous email, this job isn't for you. Overall, this job likely isn't for you.

Pros

Good entry-level opportunity with exposure to fast-paced, client-facing work. The company hires driven, sociable individuals and can be a strong starting point for building communication, prioritization, and execution skills in a high-performance environment.

Cons

High turnover and inconsistent management quality significantly impact the employee experience. Success is heavily dependent on your team lead and manager, with limited recourse if you’re placed under ineffective leadership. In my experience, poor communication, lack of emotional intelligence, and unclear expectations from management made it difficult to succeed and negatively affected day-to-day productivity. Internal processes around performance management and PTO lacked transparency. I was placed on a PIP and terminated shortly after (within a week) in a way that felt abrupt and not aligned with prior communication, which was initially framed as a discussion around pending PTO. There were also delays in PTO approvals, and I experienced issues with compensation adjustments following a promotion that required follow-up to resolve.
