Pros

- Great pay - Great work/life balance - Great company culture/people - Easy gig considering pay and workload -Hybrid and remote roles -Fairly easy path to promotion

Cons

- Super competitive: if you're not necessarily motivated by metrics or competition this will be intense for you - Super social: As someone who is an introvert, this role made me realize that sales in general isn't a comfortable field for me. The company culture is very 'network to promote' oriented. Not great for people who like their work ethic speak for itself. Lots of company encouraged bar outings and co-wrokers w/ clique-ish tendencies Job Insecurity: Easy to feel like you and your role are disposable; constant hiring freezes and layoffs Lack of Diversity: Kind of speaks for itself, not really a huge mix of people from different class or ethnic backgrounds; feels like working w the same people, different font

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
