Pros

You can get a lot of responsibility really fast, mostly because experience doesn't matter and if you're well liked and play the game the right way you'll get promoted. You will probably be the VP-ofsomething, since almost everyone is, and that can help on your resume when you start to look elsewhere. Commissions are paid quickly... Oh and if you're in sales, you don't have to be that good, because you can promise almost anything to a prospect and nobody in the company cares, its a 'sell it cheap, sell it fast,' atmosphere where sales doesn't have to take the fall for overselling the product, the customer does when they realized what they actually bought, so that helps in closing deals. Sales is king here - so that's a definite Pro if you get on that side of the fence. Also, the office is in Cherry Creak, a pretty cool part of Denver and you are close to Whole Foods, the Cricket, the mall, and tons of botiques so great lunch and shopping options everywhere

Cons

This one's simple, start with the problem, the very top of executive management. When the company's hiring strategy is to hire young, that way the top executives can continue to be abusive, disrespectful, and cruel without any consequences or challenges to their authority because no one knows any better, or is too afraid to say something, you know you have a leadership problem. Don't expect help unless its a close friend or your attorney, don't expect your manager (if you have one) to care or do anything, and don't expect things to get better until the top executives move on. The top of the sales team is pretty much a figure-head, so don't expect to ask for marketing support, coaching, time, and actually see anything happen. Its also hard to keep up to date on the actual software since so many promises are made to clients and then changed, that we never really know whats happening or why
