      Get into the "Old Company Clique" or run for it.

      Pros

      Develops the "you're on your own with no budget resourcefulness skill set". Whilst it sucks during the hardship, once you get out to a decent company you may weirdly appreciate some of this which will rub off on you eventually.

      Cons

      Company treats people like a commodity. If you're in Sales and have the right cut throat attitude you will do well and be looked after. If you were part of the old data monitor clique you also will do well unless you royally mess up and don't have a sacrificial lamb to hand when the "proverbial hits". If you don't fit into these categories look elsewhere unless you're desperate for work.

      Quick progressive dissatisfaction

      Pros

      Some good colleagues Will help you realize if sales is the career for you. I started looking for a new job after 5 weeks of being head hunted for this one, I'm glad I took the job as I made a complete change of career and I am now working in an industry I love. It gave me the drive to get out of sales. Potential to earn a lot, if sales is a career you're dedicated to. I fell into sales, for the people who work there and see it as a career and the job for life for them, they are doing well. But for graduates starting their first job, see it as a potential to learn in a fast paced, highly target driven environment.

      Cons

      Nepotism Cutthroat Don't know how to manage people as individuals Products are very much quantity not quality which can make it difficult to meet targets Lad culture can get very annoying very quickly and it seems like you're working on a market stall trying to beg professionals to buy your product that they really don't want.

      Horrible

      Pros

      Small organisation with exposure to excellent clients

      Cons

      Horrible working conditions. Senior management fixated on wrong strategy for growth and market capitalisation. All in all a good starting point for a graduate to gainew insight into industry. But wrong place to build a career.
