Pros

Freedom to work remotely (in most positions, not all.) Co-workers and managment are respectful, good working environment, excellent rapport amongst co-workers. Lots of opportunites, they are good about hiring from within.

Cons

If you started in a lower position and work your way up, the opportunities are there (which is good) but the pay level stinks. They don't reward you for the knowledge you already have. Your peers could be making 20K more than you - and that sucks.

Pros

Great training- The training provided to Account Manager was fantastic and intense. You are constantly learning something new in the IT world.

Cons

The base salary is absolutely terrible and the commission plan is even worse. They talk about being a company that build relationships and adds value to their customers, but really it is just a bunch of commodity brokers just like tigerdirect.com or newegg.com. They only care about how many calls you make. You really aren't a sales person there, you are a tele-marketer. The most important thing management cares about is how many calls you make, they could care less about how much you sell or how much profit you make for the company. Long hours for low pay in short with an uptight atmosphere.

Pros

Great Benefits, especially maternity leave if you work with the company for at least 3-5 years. Excellent perks for all departments with vendor lunches and raffles. The company posts birthdays on a repeating screen outside of headquarters, which makes it feel like more of a community atmosphere.

Cons

Sometimes it can be a bit too casual and people can get slightly unprofessional. I think a lot of people there are comfortable in their positions and are OK with that atmosphere.
