Pros

Depending on your job role, there can be great opportunity to make an impact. There are SOME visionary people who can make a positive difference for everyone they encounter. Decent benefits, decent salary, good continuing education (tuition assistance, professional development), standard package on everything else.

Cons

Everything is a sales-oriented numbers game to feed shareholders, at the expense of all else. Doing the "right" thing is wrong if it doesn't make a solid profit. Proven and accepted expert methods are largely ignored if something costs a few precious dollars. Certain members of management (not all) are woefully substandard, but are protected by a management "code of silence". Be careful what you criticize out loud, whether it is constructive or not; it could bruise the wrong ego. Watch: as personnel changes, so does the corporate culture, so be prepared to bend with it. This is not so much one big company, as much as it is a collective of smaller, regional offices (many of which were acquisitions), each operating with a great deal of independence - this kills any real ability to leverage experts from different offices.

Pros

Incredible exposure to the industry and opportunities to meet tons of vendors and manufacturers. You get to see literally every aspect of VAR sales as your job responsibilities/ scope has no end. You will have experience doing literally so many things!

Cons

“Do more with less” is the motto here. Constantly being asked for more (output, process documents, more workload, more OEM coverage) while resources are actively being stripped away. Like, adding headcount but also reorganizing the team to also take headcount away. Asking to grow your renewal rate and outreach and then being rewarded by having even more work to do in the following months / years with the same and often times less pay due to increased quotas. It’s a growing company, which is awesome, but a completely stagnant mindset. Lateral career moves are the only options, and that’s impossible as the team is constantly under water.
