Pros

If you manage to achieve what is always a very difficult quota, then you will make excellent money. Good benefits with health insurance and car allowance.

Cons

The morale and culture have deteriorated significantly over the last 12 months. I would have given a 4 star rating but not now. Senior management has overseen changes that is killing goodwill by staff towards the company. This includes: - mandatory education where sales must organise customer meetings that include a senior manager on the call to evaluate your performance. This lack of trust is morale destroying. - sales plans where you only get 30% of commission until you hit 30% of target, which may be a way of trying to retain staff but just causes resentment - must get 110% of quota to go to 100% club. Again, just a cost-cutting exercise, and a de-motivator against what are always very hard quotas to achieve in the first place - mandatory all-hands meetings at 7.30pm in our time zone to hugely impact family time - frequent layoffs that destroy account continuity and just leave those left with much more work for no extra reward - a lot of "make work" activities because it makes senior management feel like they're doing something but adds no value to your customers.

Pros

Pretty stable company. Can be very comfortable sometimes. Not in the rush to fire their employees. Some of my teams been there for almost 20 years.

Cons

Low salary, and recently the bosses think the team is a ninja team from Google or Apple with their demands. The technology stack is tangled with the mainframe in some form and its bad for your resume and for your health.
