Pros

If you are desperate for a job and need some immediate income, you can grab a few paychecks from them- but still keep looking. That won't last long.

Cons

They have changed their name so many times and the people ( companies,clients ) we would contact would already be guarded, know the companies scam practices and want nothing to do with it, the CEO nor anyone else associated with it. We were told to lie, could never provide proof of anything to the clients company's background yet) and it was a CASH COW for the owner. He has been sued so many times but there is some iron clad contract that they send out- companies don't want to be bothered. The numbers of publication revenue dollars and readers are ALL fictitious and made up. Ergo, there is NO audit report to back up what we would 'have' to tell potential clients- there NEVER will be either. Enter at your own risk and management is also part of the ' good old boys club' as well....liars, cheats, cons will all do well in this environment...until they turn on you that is !

Pros

This company is great. I have been working here for little under a year. It has a great atmosphere and fun to work. The negative reviews on here are just people who did not want to come to work and actually do the work and got let go because they could not make sales quotas. It is a sales position and you will be held accountable for hitting your numbers. They will work with you and train you and help you if you are struggling. I started here with NO sales experience and I am doing well. I have made commissions consistently. Management is great and they like promote people as well.

Cons

The office is a little old and out dated.

Pros

They took a chance on me and helped me get use to an office environment and cold calling and inside sales

Cons

This business model is a total sham, you cold call companies asking for a list of vendors in order for them to get a 'free' article. You must make 100 calls a day for 2 hours. Most companies know of all their magazines and have started to slowly stop doing business with them. Management doesn't do a good job of helping you grow your skill set. Bottom line you would be signing up for a sinking ship. They have changed names 5 times because most companies have refused to do business with them.
