Pros

Think of selling licensing and software to business as a plumbing job. Microsoft makes great "plumbing" for businesses. I enjoy helping customers build new and interesting stuff based on the technology or "plumping" Microsoft provides. Challenging job and if you can make it through the challenging times, it has the potential to be rewarding.

Cons

Too much information internally and little to no easy way to find what is needed. Little communication from other teams, even though collaboration is a keystone to the company. This tends to make the job very frustrating very quickly. Documentation of processes to help customers with new purchases/releases is lacking at best.
