Pros

Not much of anything. If you want an unprofessional, noisy, immature environment to work in, than you'll find that here. You get a phone and PC to work at, but be prepared to supply your own supplies, and work off of lame lead lists.

Cons

No one knows anything about the other services and platforms other than the simple card swiper. The training is ridiculous, takes place after a long 8 hour day 3 days a week and primarily covers how to hustle your potential customer, customer/employee support is extremely limited, slow and not very knowledgible. Customers get ripped off because the services they are told they will receive/qualify for (ie. 24 hour money deposit for the merchant) is usually NOT the reality which isn't found out until after the contract is signed. Your trained to lie about their not being a contract to get the merchant to sign, I can go on and on . They also cannot beat competitors that are already heavily in the marketplace and servicing your potential clients or are looking for a new provider.

Pros

Popular music playing continuously; Many young, hot chicks in clubwear

Cons

Work for nothing (aka "Commission Only"); Uses loophole/exception in minimum wage law that allows "outside sales people" to work for nothing; requires driving many miles in your own car at your own expense; requires "cold calling" in a Boiler Room atmosphere; has many characteristics of a Pyramid Scheme with the opportunity to make money by buying a franchise/opening your own office and recruiting people to work for nothing with unrealistic expectations and misrepresentation of potential earnings
