Amazing travel opportunities, cross collaboration across the business in different offices, great benefits (insurance, PTO, sick time)
Cons
Clique-y, low base pay, inconsistent bonus/commission - very dependent on the territory you are assigned, young managers

Well structured, comprehensive formal training.
Perks and benefits
Cons
Once training is done, you’re pretty much on your own to figure things out. The weekly meetings with your manager end. You spend all day on the phones and there’s not a whole lot of interaction or collaboration going on in the office or across your team. At the end of the day it is a job and the perks and benefits are nice (travel). It just seemed social interaction of any kind, even to ask questions, was discouraged and in fact was viewed as distracting. The cold calling just gets to be tiring after a while, making it hard to stay at the job for longer than 1-2 years. Good entry level sales job, though.
