Pros

Undoubtedly the best products on the market, you have an abundance of resources to help you sell and be successful, the middle managers are great, fun office culture & great pay for college grads.

Cons

Pay is not competitive after 2 years in the industry, you can leave for literally any competitor who will pay you more. Everyone (including area managers) is micromanaged from upper management. In the last 2 years the company has adopted the belief that everyone is replaceable and that quantity of employees rather than quality of employees is more important.

Pros

Great training program, and good mix of roles. You wear a lot of hats at this job which prepares you well for your career. Business and technically focused, and a real product expert type of role.

Cons

Its a tough job and a lot of work and long hours. You need to deal with customers constantly through a lot of virtual support.
