Vantaggi
It's a harsh and unforgiving environment but if you're willing to beat it with a stick and give it all you've got you can make a good amount of money and it's a good launch pad for a strong sales career. The training is strong if you're in the right team. Play it right and you will leave it carved out of wood with some cash in your back pocket. Despite the crap you take when you're not doing well, the good managers are great at giving you praise and supporting you. The incentives are good and there is a strong work hard/play hard vibe.
Svantaggi
The style of selling is quite dated and KPI focused. Your call times and dial rate will be tracked and scrutinized. Getting a raise/promotion is hard work. This is BI specific. If you want to see events then I would suggest looking at the Progressive media reviews (the company's old name). This will give you an accurate representation (spoiler alert - it doesn't seem like much fun). If you're new to sales you will be broken down and built back up (it's a lot like fight club).
