Inside Sales positions are micro-managed and rarely lead to advancement.
Pros: Compensation is generally good for the industry.
Cons: In Inside Sales be prepared to be micro-managed, right down to who you called, in which specific minute of the day, how long you spoke, and what the revenue implications were that month.  
I worked for the education division for over a year and was regularly one of the top 3 reps (in revenues) on a monthly basis within a team of 75.  
Still, I was continually pestered about call counts/talk time etc.
