Fine Place, Not Great Pay

Pros

Lots of resources and opportunities to move up and around in such a large company. Almost impossible to get fired unless you are doing a very poor job. Technical resources and upper management experience is top notch, there are a lot of very smart people working at this company.

Cons

Pay is not great, don't expect to be clearing $140,000/year even with great sales numbers. Yearly "merit increases" are always pegged to be less than inflation, so you will consistently see your real salary drop without regular title changes. Work in the field is advertised as a sales role, but a lot of your time will be dedicated to servicing and upkeeping existing customers. Work life balance is not awful, but certainly favors the work end - particularly if you want to be recognized for promotions.

Pros

Same as all large companies. So groups have great benefits. Some dont.

Cons

Same as all large companies. No real road to advancing. Most positions are dead-ends. Not competitive in wages.
