      Pros

      Great product portfolio and networking opportunities 2 month long training gives you plenty of corporate kool aid

      Cons

      It truly is glorified telemarketing at times. Industry low base salary. Even after hitting your goal 100%, you might not make a livable salary. The company inflates their goals to force you to grow 500% (for example) to make any money. Your success often depends on whether management likes you or not. Advancement not based on merit. I have witnessed people get harassed at work but nothing was done about it because the "boys club" alpha male culture tells people to allow bullying.

      Pros

      If you get lucky you can get "assigned" an account that will get a pile of money a time or two.

      Cons

      I don't know where to start, cold calling all day, leaving when you are scheduled to go home is looked down upon, pay makes creating a budget impossible, your primary income is commission with a miniscule salary and most of your day you aren't even able to try to sell due to endless, mandatory meetings and conference calls, I left years ago and still occasionally have nightmares that I work there.

      Pros

      The training you can get if you are motivated is amazing The work life balance is good if you are tenured great place to network

      Cons

      The salary is deplorable, they pillage their vendor partners for money for fruitless en devours and will only let ones in that contribute big marketing dollars get face time with sales Ever since MDP took over the culture has been turned inside out. most people are miserable and the atmosphere is toxic, only the extreme heavy hitters seem happy The company has lost the human element and everything is a portal or a SharePoint. most architects have antiquated hardware that wont run most configuration tools
