Pros
I worked at white rabbit for my placement year of studying business and finance at the London School of Economics. My parents run businesses of their own, and I always had aspiration to open up my own company. I knew that learning sales and marketing skills was going to be VITAL to my growth as an entrepreneur. A lot of students gain knowledge, but can't perform when it comes to a professional environment. I didn't want to be one of those statistics, so learning face to face sales skills was the BEST decision I ever made. After gaining confidence, learning how to sell, and improving my personal and professional brand, I've gone on to open up 3 separate businesses since graduating. THANK YOU SO MUCH WHTE RABBIT Sure it's competitive, but that's life....and definitely business.
Cons
Sure, the field is hard work, and hours are long, but people are crazy if they think they're going to progress quickly in their career by doing 9-5. People should educate themselves on direct marketing before they apply. It's their own fault if they're not happy.
