Pros

I would likely give Gartner a 2.5 star review but that wasn’t an option so I did 2 stars. I’ve been with the company for almost 3 years. The training was great and I have to say I enjoy the collaboration with co-workers. Lots of smart colleagues. Gartner is kind of like a paint by numbers. You do get to learn a lot of great sales skills - take what works for you, challenge yourself, and the rest leave behind.

Cons

New manager every year - that’s not good. Current manager only cares about themself and nothing else. They say they want to help to make the team’s jobs easier with tasks they can take care but when ask for help to getting leadership approval on x, y, or z - the manager is useless. Also, the manager is demoralizing and doesn’t understand how to communicate with the team. “Paint by numbers” type sales can be a con - we get trained certain ways. Honestly - there is a lot of great information that is provided by upper management but problem is current manager wants a replica of themself. That is not how you build a successful sales team.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
