Pros

You work with some amazing people and form lasting relationships. The training is second to none and the trainers are amazing.

Cons

They don't tell you that at any time during training you can be let go. This adds a lot of stress to people who move half way across the country just for a position. Once you do finally make it to the sales floor it is luck of the draw to where you land. If you're lucky you will land on a team such as healthcare or finance. If you don't... Well good luck hitting your number. Another major down fall is managers. They promote people based on their numbers and give no thought into how well they lead. I have personally seen some of the best talent walk away from Gartner because of it. Also, do not go to upper management if you have any issues. They will side with the manager 9 times out of 10.

Pros

Awesome benefits that start from day 1. Good long term opportunities. Young culture. Experience working with C-level executives. Good starting salary as well

Cons

This jobs tough. A lot of it is luck and what territory you walk into after training. Also, your entire experience depends on your manager, but you have no clue who will be your assigned manager until after you finish the 2 month training. A lot of office politics. Lots of growing pains, since Gartner is wanting to rapidly grow. Territories shrink but quotas remain the same/grow...with less opportunity per account executive. Unrealistic metrics.

Pros

The pay for what you do is pretty nice. The leads are warm so all you really need to make $60K+ is be able to have a coherent conversation with active software buyers.

Cons

The owners do not care about you as a person. I was there for over 2 years and generated almost $1M for the company. Neither of the founders said a single word to me when I left. It was a very disappointing ending to my stint.
