Pros

Free bagels every Friday, convenient location to several CTA lines, very nice view.

Cons

I was discriminated for my sexual orientation by a manager and several peers around me. This company follows a puppy mill model, and hire & fire anywhere from 3-5 people weekly. Management prefers to set unrealistic expectations for proven and tenured salespeople who are slumping instead of letting go of unproven trainees. The product offered is subpar at best. Approximately 83% of the sales I made led to some sort of issue (poor quality, inaccurate/short count, untimely delivery, etc). It is very difficult to make more than $2,000/month. Favoritism plays an enormous factor as upper management chooses who receives quality leads who are ready to make a significant purchase. Many talented account executives were forced out fairly quickly due to unrealistic goals set by management through receiving the lowest tiered leads.

Pros

They will literally hire anyone so if you NEED a job this will be a good bridge between places

Cons

When you are first hired, you are expected to make 100+ calls a day and cycle through old company leads that didn't purchase data until you can make 6 sales in which you get 2 months to do so? But thats it. Once you get promoted you never actually get commission unless you find a wale client and event then some of the most talented people have left because every time you make commission the goal gets pushed ever further so ensure they don't have to pay you out.
