Pros

in this horrible economic situation, it was a place to pull a paycheck free food stuff in the hallways, as long as you listen to vendors tell you why their product is best hours were great, cant be beat co-workers are awesome!

Cons

favoritism of management towards certain woman employees. (wont go any further into that) the fact that after i was hired they hired groups of 20 or more people every month (extremely high turn-over and expected turn-over) management staff will de-rail any attempts at a promotion if you're not 'with the program' after leaving you can't put the place on your resume because companies will see you worked for one of the 'annoyances' that call them every day and ignore you.or blacklist you. upper management and HR dont care about their staff but would rather quietly sweep them under a rug.

Pros

It is a job, and if you excel you can make ok money in Sales. Take it if you are desperate but plan on staying less than a year or two. It used to be a good place to get your foot in the door in IT Sales, but the lack of training now maybe makes that less relevant.

Cons

The base pay is a joke for sales positions, the commission plan changes every year and never for the better. They pay less than most of their competitors. They are offshoring most of the sales positions to Pakistan, they are growing like crazy there. PDX and AUB offices have gone from totally full 300 plus sales reps to about 70-80 total. They are making a big push to move to a service provider, even though most of the service offerings are half baked at best. Also they suck at marketing, selling solutions would be great, but most folks think of them as a box pusher and nothing more. CDW and Insight spend on ads, Zones not so much. Strategy changes every year. Management below directors at this point is filled with failed sales reps who are willing to be yes men to whatever whims come from above.
