Pros

Great benefits and training - IBM never really looks bad on your resume

Cons

Pay - If you are a motivated and industrious hard worker, you are better off elsewhere. Socialized earnings - top and bottom not much difference. Better have a manager who will fight for your commissions. I continually blew out my quota but was given retroactive quota increases - that resulted in negative commission checks! Yes - I am being serious. Explanation: "Since you do so well and were paid in the bonus in the previous quarter, with the increased quota, you were actually overpaid ... so you owe us money." They never made you pay it and tried to make it sound like you were being done a favor when it was 'wiped clean' at the beginning of the next year. Net net - they fund you not off the dollars you sell but at a percentage of your salary. Go someplace that pays you for what you actually sell at a guaranteed rate.
