Pros

Good company IF you have a good manager.

Cons

First-time, awful, vengeful, petty individual promoted to manager in charge of a team of seasoned professionals. He tried to micro manage the team and rule by fear. He used favoritism to let one or two individuals skate by while holding unfair, and different standards to the other team members. We knew this because the entire team would meet to talk about the manager's behaviors. Worse, our manager's, manager did nothing to correct the issue from multiple complaints from the team. Bad management is systemic. Additionally, my complaint to HR was ignored. The team was disbanded save for the lousy manager who is still at Dell today. HR encouraged but blocked my attempts to move to another role ever though HR claimed they would help.

Pros

the people on your team, lots of free food and snacks. sadly thats it

Cons

too many! ive done sales for a long time and i dont remember being in a place thats managed at this poor of a level. this is something you would expect from a start up company not fortune 50. your pay will constantly change and not for the better. they also do a lot of shady stuff with that. un-attainable quota for your account set that will end up putting you in a PIP situation which is basically where you will be let go cause you wont be able to finish it within 30 days. micromanaging using KPI's that make no sense so everyone's just faking them. top to bottom SMB is horrible and just not worth your time and effort. find another company thats more stable so you dont burn your time here and then just leave. everyone who got promoted to MB is either looking for another job, miserable or was let go.
