Pros

Strong support staff to get things done efficiently, decent benefits and a well established company that has been around forever and likely not going to go out of business during the hard times. Good overall vendor relationships, which makes things easier in terms of securing better pricing, etc.

Cons

Poor middle management, company is too focused on monitoring and controlling your every action, than on selling. Lower than average compensation, you are taxed heavily on anything you could possibly earn. Too much focus on monitoring and controlling your every action rather than simply focused on selling. Company takes a percentage of everything from you that you don't even see

Pros

It's quite entrepreneurial - you get what you put into this. It is like owning your own business - including sales, customer support, issues, etc. So this can be good and bad at the same time as growing a solid business can take an investment on the support side for these clients.

Cons

This is truly a long term, professional sales role. The opportunities for advancement are minimal to zero. You will get great support throughout the organization if you are in the top 10%, otherwise it seems that the organization has little interest outside of that circle. It seems from experience, there are better options in terms of companies within the same industry (other leading/top IT resellers/VARs) if you are seeking a great long term and rewarding career opportunity.

Pros

Good hardware, software and networking equipment experience. They offer a fairly structured 2-3 week training period. The health benefits are fair. There was also a 10-20% discount on computer goods and any returned merchandise was sold at a great discount to emplyees. There was a health club on in the building and the location was very close the highway. I also seem to remenber they gave emplyees a turkey at thanksgiving.

Cons

There was something about the work enviornment that was overly controlling. I felt undercurrents of dissatisfaction and there was alot of turnover in the sales dept. Sales support tools were not exceptional.
