Pros

You are extremely well trained in product knowledge and how to utilize company resources. You are provided with solid benefits.

Cons

The leadership theme is "micromanagement" from the top down. There are high goals set with high expectations. If monthly goals, set by managers, are not hit then commission is not payed. Every task is closely measured and subject to scrutny.

Pros

Good location Learn technology - if you are into it Well known Name in the industry

Cons

Over saturated - to many reps High Prices tough to compete and make money Management constantly on your back Used to be about building relationships now just about how many phone calls you can make, so naturally you have people calling airports/theaters to boost their phone numbers to keep mgt off back. While some older reps easily clear six figures a year in their sleep. for a new person impossible, you will have to wait 10-15yrs for some of older folks to leave to get their accts. otherwise you will be lucky to make 50-60/yr. There is a reason why they hire so many reps, high turnover rate. Used to 100 best places to work for years, not anymore since it was bought out.

Pros

Fun place to work if you're just out of school. Just don't expect to make very much money for at least a couple of years.

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity on the Goverment side of things. If you're willing to stick around for a few years not making a lot of money there can be opportunity down the road though.
