Pros

Good company to work for with great benefits. Sales team will receive ample training in order to succeed with a small enough customer base and territory to take away most obstacles.

Cons

As with any large company, any changes are extremely difficult and slow to implement. Re-orgs are too common, which result in trying to refocus the sales team, whether your team is already successful or not. They also have a strong focus on the stockholders, which sometimes (specifically in Q4 nearly every year) this is at the detriment of the employees (i.e. pausing 401k matching, freezing expense accounts, etc.)

Pros

Pros are great working hours, lots of flexibility, work from home, good people

Cons

not easy to move up, to even work overtime is a pain and is hard to even get it confirmed. Unfortunately not the best place if looking to move up quickly and you can't always feel comfortable with whom you work with yet they say you should

Pros

Good benefits, medical, dental, 401k, casual atmosphere, flex time

Cons

Rules are not the same for everyone. ex. one manager will allow working from home while another will strictly prohibit it, favoritism, not rewarded for a job well done. Some senior managers set bad examples while others set good ones. Very inconsistent management
