Pros

You learn a lot to take elsewhere and have some other company benefit from it.

Cons

* hardcore sales - no time to build actual relationships with clients due to unrealistic goals * a lot of overtime * not just stressful (hey, which job isn't) but actually disstressing a lot of the time * cultural differences are not taken into account * elbow mentality * unfair commission payments once you resign * you have to be available pretty much 24/7 if you want to have your clients (and therefore your commission) properly covered and you also have to travel quite a bit yet no laptops or smartphones are provided - which should be standard these days * sustainability is not something that matters to management * if you read headlines like “The most psychologically abusive institution I've ever been part of” - believe it! it's true

Pros

The work isn't too tough. The people in the office are skilled and pleasant. There are decent benefits and you can work from home for 2 days.

Cons

The pay is bad. Decent for when you first start but raises are small and infrequent. Bonuses are even smaller and more infrequent. We were fully remote but slowly have been forced back into office for no good reason.
