Pros

Can't really think of one to be honest. I would say its just a gig that people take while something better comes along but even the cheques would be days late getting there. These guys couldn't even pay their bills on time. There wasn't any money, it was all going to Glen White's crappy Business Friend which has since tanked.

Cons

Where to begin?. Awful pay, awful commission structure, unrealistic targets, outdated business model, awful design of magazines, horribly written, low morale, over aggressive tactics and sales. Pushing collections...everything is like a boiler room environment, it really felt like I was selling penny stocks...this was probably a low point in my career as I was waiting foe something better but it was an embarrassment to go into the office everyday.

Pros

Relaxed, young work environment, the line level employees always try to help each other. Occasionally there is some real positive energy and this helps with motivation and drive.

Cons

Constantly cycling through dead end leads or people who already have been offered the product at one point or another, for one. However the big problem is the product itself. These are not "leading industry publications" as I was told to refer to them as. If the businesses who are in that industry sector have never heard of them, why would they want to be featured and have their vendors buy ads? I was sick of feeling dishonest by quoting false circulation numbers that were fed to me by executives who couldn't possibly believe the numbers to be real.
