Pros
Fantastic office space based locally in Egham 'Gartner' brand opens many doors and is a very simple concept to sell A comprehensive portal to access any relevant information required Good salary with great commission rates Regular team meetings and an open communication ethic Social and networking opportunities Sales cycle is fairly quick and targets/quota seemed achievable Intelligent co-workers and a defined career progression path for high achievers No loop-holes or questionable work ethics - completely Objective and Independent.
Cons
Work/Life Balance can become questionable for those with family/dependents - Live to Work is defnitely the ethos Too much reliance on internal networking and forming alliances - tends to lead to bullying/harrasssment for those more focussed on work than socialising Internal CRM absolutely dire with prospecting conducted from the internet and excel spreadsheets, leading to duplicate calling and internal conflict with team members. Sales Training too disjointed and does not fall in line with actual work progression rate Sexual harrassment, inequality, and favouritism, is rife within the office environment without any disciplinary procedures enforced by middle management Very young/social environment, ideal for pre-30's only.
