Pros

In terms of schedule and location, this is the most flexible place I've ever worked -- lots of freedom to work remotely and autonomy to make your own choices about how you work as long as you are present when needed and accomplishing your goals. People are friendly and pleasant. Travel is more minimal than I expected, though I didn't work in sales. The constant fluctuations via acquisition/development and re-organization (see Cons) have an upside of creating lots of opportunities to evolve your position, move into new areas, and in some cases, move up.

Cons

The biggest issue is insecurity due to inconsistency from executives. The company is constantly acquiring and divesting, and we re-organized so frequently it was almost a joke. This means lots of people live in constant, justified paranoia of being laid off. It seemed like we had a new executive team every 6 months, with new ideas about where we were going and how we would get there. It doesn't sound that bad, but by the time I left (I was laid off, obviously), I was exhausted and stressed from constantly trying to re-define my role and adjust to new bosses and new strategies. It was almost a relief to lose this job because I'd been expecting the layoff to come for so long -- not a great sign.

Pros

Great environment and people. Lots of overtime available and bonuses during busy season.

Cons

I really enjoyed this job so the only con I can think of is that it is seasonal.

Pros

Plenty of wonderful benefits and the most competitive parental leave I have found in the US job market

Cons

Depending on the organization you work within, you could be working for leadership that expects sales reps to smooth over and fix every single mistake that is made. A lot of these mistakes are because they haven't yet recovered from acquiring new companies and they haven't absorbed CRMs and data correctly. There are many different teams to work with to get the simplest projects done. It feels like the companies values are really in place because they expect the employees to take responsibility for their lack of systems in place supporting them.
