Pros
Great place to master “creative” sales techniques under pressure Builds resilience—daily stress trains your patience and tolerance Fast hiring process (and equally fast exits) Teaches you how to survive in a highly competitive environment Plenty of “learning opportunities” in handling difficult management Strong focus on targets—keeps you on your toes 24/7 You’ll quickly understand what kind of workplace to avoid in the future
Cons
Unrealistic targets that magically keep increasing “Motivation” mainly comes in the form of constant pressure Job security depends entirely on hitting numbers every single month Training is brief—learning happens the hard way, instantly Management style is… very hands-on (constantly on your head) Sales credit can sometimes become a team sport (just not your team) Work culture includes plenty of gossip and internal competition Work-life balance is more of a concept than a reality A “thrilling” workplace where impossible targets, constant pressure, and creative credit-sharing keep you motivated—right up until you’re replaced.
