Pros

-Free soda, Vitamin Water and gatorade -Young company so it's always growing -Fun product to sell

Cons

-Free La Croix. Who is the person that orders this? -In 2010 and 2011 it was a great company to be with because there was so much energy and team building. It slowly but surely became a job where employees were no longer valued even after putting in 50+ hours a week *in terms of commission AND leadership recognition. -There was no career advancement in place

Pros

Gaining experience targeting multiple industries

Cons

Management doesn’t care about you. Unrealistic goals. Everyone at 30-40% of quota. Complicated quota attainment system. Your job is to ask for 70% of margins for small businesses that have only 10-15% margin budgets
