Pros

Tag sales are great! Every year the whole Hearst building sells their unused PR in exchange for low prices donated to charity. Can be a hit or miss!

Cons

Legacy tech. Things move slowly here/lots of technical frustration. If you want to make cool things, would recommend opting for a startup.

Pros

Uncapped commissions, and a great product suite. Clear Process you can succeed with, great benefits for raising or starting a family, Huge company so you can likely move to another market.

Cons

Its a high pressure sales role and comes with the same things you would expect in those roles.
