Pros

HR is good at writing fake reviews. Free food at the end of the quarter. Commute is reverse the normal traffic flow Good people, ie. grunts on the sales floor

Cons

Too many to list. I'll list a few that are top of mind... Pay - low, low, low. SUCKS. No consistency in compensation plan. They must have changed it 3 times within a year, I swear! Systems and Processes - Archaic and ineffective. CRM system is crap and difficult to use. They need to hire some process analysts here because there doesn't seem to be any standard operating procedures in place. If you ask someone how to do something, you won't get a straight answer. Plus nothing works right. For the longest time my outlook said I didn't have a valid activation key. what the hell? Poor Management - good ole boys club and managers that can't manage. Don't expect any type of constructive coaching or teaching from your manager. Career progression is non-existent. If you're lucky, people on your team will quit or get fired and you'll inherit their accounts if you suck up enough. Business Vision - NONE Training - CRAP. Sales "Enablement" is an oxymoron. Vendor trainings are hit or miss. Large vendors are typically good - Dell, HP, Cisco, Adobe, VMWare, Lenovo. Small vendors seem to get lost in the shuffle and you need to figure it out yourself. Support - or lackthereof. Outsourced to Pakistan to put money in someone's pocket. You get the picture.

Pros

Work from home is a perk for most. Some ability to travel and attend events with clients and prospects.

Cons

Where do I begin? If you really need a job, I get it but would not recommend it! So many issues- toxic culture, very siloed even within sales organization, leadership not to be trusted. Penny pinching on sales commissions and unrealistic sales goals.
