Vantaggi

I can only mention the salary If you arrive at Glassdoor, you're half way of saving your time and keeping your mind healthy.

Svantaggi

Huge list but I'll try to keep it short. When I first started I visited Glassdoor but I tried to ignore the 2.7 rating because I thought that applied mostly to the US offices. However, because a company's culture is created by the highest perosn in the hierarchy, that can be felt across all the offices they have around the world. A CEO that says on a town hall meeting that "everyone is replaceable and doesn't care if people keep quiting", doesn't deserve any F* respect from their more than 1.000 people under him. But that is of course only my opinion. If you were sold a beautiful idea of making huge commissions and sold a great salary, do yourself a favor: keep searching for a new job! The company has miscalculated the market opportunity by at least 83% and keeps hiring people hoping they will sell to companies that won't/can't buy their services. Plus incentivises people to compete which other, allowing people to steal (or how they call it - challenge) each other's accounts. There's no much support from both the team mates and management as everyone sees each other as a competitor. The target they set are ridiculous! Only 5-6 globally out of 200+ can reach them due to long history in the company. It's mandatory to work from the office and the micro management rules! If you managed to read everything, I hope it can help on your decision. Really, if I had been more careful and trusting on the reviews of Glassdoor, I wouldn't be in a situation I was. I've seen people coming in and after 2 weeks they already wanted to leave.

Vantaggi

nothing! Absolutely nothing!this place a horrible cage like environment!

Svantaggi

I wish I can give cogent a negative star. This place was hands down the worst place to work in my entire adult life! The CEO is terrible not mentioned the regional directors and VP’s micromanaging. We are adults and constantly reminders of when to clock in and out. The last time I was micromanaged this way it was it when I was 16 years old working at Dominos Pizza! Don’t come here! The reviews are spot on. Glad I am not there anymore! So if you see an open spot, go work and Walmart instead, they are probably more professional there than that forsaken place. No customer wants to do business with Cogent, they were burn before. So it was hard getting customers. The culture sucks, it like a mini calling center! So stay away from this place!
