Pros

Some good colleagues Will help you realize if sales is the career for you. I started looking for a new job after 5 weeks of being head hunted for this one, I'm glad I took the job as I made a complete change of career and I am now working in an industry I love. It gave me the drive to get out of sales. Potential to earn a lot, if sales is a career you're dedicated to. I fell into sales, for the people who work there and see it as a career and the job for life for them, they are doing well. But for graduates starting their first job, see it as a potential to learn in a fast paced, highly target driven environment.

Cons

Nepotism Cutthroat Don't know how to manage people as individuals Products are very much quantity not quality which can make it difficult to meet targets Lad culture can get very annoying very quickly and it seems like you're working on a market stall trying to beg professionals to buy your product that they really don't want.

Pros

1. You can learn innovative ways to avoid work 2. Will learn office politics very quickly 3. Soon develop thick skin

Cons

Cannot be finished. But here are the major ones: 1. The HR will outright lie to you about package when they need to recruit you. They will talk about your package and bonus separately, even though they will include it in the salary. HR will tell you that average hike is 10% minimum, but at the time of appraisal, you will not get more than 3-3.5% hike. 2. Management treats everyone like dogs. Most of senior managers are coming from similar backgrounds so have not learnt anything better, in terms of behavior. 3. Everyone in the management wants to show off their skills. So, policies and work style will keep on changing every few months. 4. Strike system - if you do not reach office by 9:15 AM, three such misses will deduct half day of your leave. 5. Frequent churning. No job security and the company goes on splitting itself. 6. Almost all non-office websites are blocked. Even yatra and IRCTC. If there is an emergency at home and one needs to buy ticket, it will not be possible. 7. Management and HR create fake profiles in Glassdoor and Naukri to track whether employees are trying to get jobs outside.
