If you need a job they’ll hire you, if you don’t come from telco you will fail 99% of the time by design. Management brags about the fact that if a rep is bad at least they fell into an opportunity or two another rep can work. If need a job, this is the place. If you have a standard or expectation of what a sales org should be, don’t work there.
