It's Catch 22 at this place.

Pros

Put in some time here and your rep will improve -- fortunately most outsiders don't see what's going on behind closed doors. If you have viable options, take them -- or look at Gartner as a way-station along the way. People do sometimes come back -- and then, often leave again because of the idiocy.

Cons

You're told to manage your time better if the shifting priorities make it necessary to, for example, reschedule a deliverable. Then you're faulted for missing the original deadline. Upper management is laughing all the way to the bank, and mid-management just follows the company line and can't rationalize what is irrational here. The morale is poor; people compete rather than cooperate. But the pay and benefits are good.

Pros

Good job for a kid coming out of college. You can make a ton of professional connections for your more promising career at another company.

Cons

This is a call center, make no doubt about it. You are trained to be a robot on the phone. If you like telemarketing, you'll like it here. To be successful you need to get in good with the right people and play their games. You need to be in the "good old boys club" for career advancement. Very unprofessional environment with a high school level of drama. Very high AE turnover. Sells you on a 6 figure income, but only about 1/3 of the sales force even makes plan ($60k). 8 weeks of Academy is almost usless. Even the experienced AE's and Managers will tell you to forget everything you learned in Academy because it is NOT how the real world works.
