Pros
- Exposure to all kinds of technology & Clients, to find out where you "fit": Storage, SaaS, Service, Consulting, Hardware, etc. - Very real advancement potential, in less than a year I saw more than a dozen AE get hired by their clients or secure lucrative jobs elsewhere - all OTEs in 70-120k range, and some even more - I had the best mentor ever N-Bot - Opportunities to advance from within, into staffing, sales, or inside sales management - saw several people promoted while I was there and they were looking to promote several more - Lot's of very impressive AEs to work alongside and learn from
Cons
- Ramp up period can be intense, and take some flexibility, but those who stick with it are rewarded - Lots of effort typically required to be a top performer, although this is the same with most places in sales
