Pros

Close contact with fellow co-workers. An all expenses paid trip to New York, and the hotel and accomodations are top notch.

Cons

One person for over 100 clients means that you are not providing very good client service. There are no real perks to working for this job. Every training material you have is in paper which is ridiculous in this age of the internet.

Pros

They care about their employees and they care about their customers. Great benefits, no layoffs, no arbitrary changes every other week. Stable, consistant professional work environment.

Cons

Salary and commission structure is causing massive turnover in the sales divisions.

Pros

Steady check from a company that isnt going to fold tomorrow. Consistent gig while you go to night school to get a better job.

Cons

technical work with minimal training. Horrid software that fails and the employee gets blamed. Incredibly poor mid and lower management!!!!! Promotion goes to whom the mid level manager likes and not to who is best qualified.... the stories I could tell about inept supervisors and managers. Terribly low pay for the work required. The fun comes when you are paying employees for other companies making twice what you do and you know they are doing less than half the work.
