Pros

Good entry level sales experience. The pros are if you get in with the right crowd you can be content to make okay money. If you can find deals on your own you can do well. 8-5 job!

Cons

You better be a self starter because outside of a couple of sales people only the engineers really know what the software does. Office culture is a good ole boy mentality. If you are not in the in crowd you are on the way out. There are similar jobs out there that pay more so look around. Pay is below what is out there.

This year we created a new sales training manager position to really focus on the sales technique and product information. Sorry we did not have this in time to help you! Regarding manager titles, some people, like me for instance, manage a function so we do have a manager title even though we don't manage a team. I can see that that could be confusing.

Pros

None since the old leadership left

Cons

Don’t be fooled by the interview promises of talk about “work-life balance” or “family values”, it’s strictly public relations. The reality is a severe double standard in leadership. This place is full of long tenure favorites regularly takes time off with zero notice and passing their workload onto others expecting them to drop their plans at a minute’s notice. If you are NOT one of the favorites and you take time off for a family emergency or personal illness, even if it’s unpaid, you are immediately placed on the chopping block under the guise of “structure reorganization.” Meanwhile the favorites do minimum work, continue to collect their bonuses and taking off whenever they want. If you value your career growth and life outside of work, avoid. All you get here is stagnation with zero room for growth.
