Pros

The responsibilities and territory of any sales associate is ever-shifting and nebulous as are the metrics so you won't be held responsible for doing, anything really. You could do this job and have a second job at another company and no one would probably know.

Cons

The responsibilities and territory of any sales associate is ever-shifting and nebulous as are the metrics so you won't be held responsible for doing, anything really. So no sense of accomplishment or ability to make commission. The work is mostly busywork with no real strategy. My manager just like to tell stories about his life but didn't seem to understand is actual job or what "sales" or "management" actually was.

Pros

You get a paycheck. Some of the people are nice but don’t trust anyone.

Cons

Exec leadership is awful. Always putting out the positive party line but it is all lies. Products are so far behind competitors. No investment in product or marketing. Senior executive leadership team shuffles around their “good old boy” comrades to new roles instead of retiring them or holding them accountable. The internal politics with everyone back stabbing each other to manage up and keep their jobs. Leadership is just doing what the board chair tells them to do. It is all about self promotion vs doing the job. They like to blame the previous CEO but he has been gone a year and it has only gotten worse. OpenText likes to brand itself as top company to work for , I say STAY AWAY!
