Pros

Cons
The job can be a complete nightmare if you are not capable of sales and meeting quotas. When I mean quotas, I mean reaching at least 30 decision makers a week. Leaving voicemails or speaking to the gatekeepers DO NOT count. I could make 10 calls that day and reached no one and I only had an hour to make sales calls. If I didn't reach 6 decision makers that day, then I had to reach more the next day to make it up. I once had to reach 16 on a Friday to meet that quota. On top of that, I also had to do jobs that truly needed 5 people to do along with using weak technologies, filling jobs with urgency, AND expected us to perform top notch with so many things going on. Also, when visiting client sites, we also had to wear BUSINESS SUITS even when it is over 100 degrees and at an industrial setting where we could get our suits dirty. And the salaries do not compensate for such expensive upkeep. I understand there needs to be a dress code. However business suits may work when we work at Wall Street, but not at a general labor site. Overall, company culture is completely stuck in a time warp of the1950s Leave It To Beaver mentality, which makes them out of touch of what's going on in today's modern world.
