      Pros

      Good Product Great for a sales position right of out college Can easily get hired elsewhere with a couple years experience Pretty good money

      Cons

      Micromanagement Upper management just does not listen Company culture sucks and is very boring Depending on what boss you have it can either be cool or a living hell Will find yourself saying "we don't have that" alot The company has hardly any trust for its salespeople

      Pros

      Excellent training program, great resources, great benefits, decent pay, good growth potential, healthy/ethical/fair/professional environment. Job is more of a hands-on applications consultant position than your typical sales job, lots of interesting industrial problem-solving projects, and most of your clients are technically-inclined enough to stimulate highly technical discussions. Engineering skills are not completely required, but definitely a huge plus.

      Cons

      Still a sales job no matter how you cut it, so somewhat commision-based. Turnover is high when economy is good, or very bad, but they have a point system where you'll get paid fairly as long as you put in your hours. Fair amount of cold-calling. Training period is not as organized as it should be. Has potential for long hours.
