Pros

Good benefits Good people Great sales experience In my opinion, this is probably one of the best places to start straight out of college and get experience as a business major

Cons

Poor base salary No recognition for hard work - I worked overtime on a shorthanded account because management thought it would be a brilliant idea to fire a team member before the account's busiest month for about two months straight. I barely received as much as an "atta boy", and once I was due for my next raise the company quickly forgot about this and sent me packing Atomosphere is very political so be prepared to brown nose a little

Pros

Compensation is good if you are paired with a good AE. The culture is so unstructured that it is fairly laid back. You get a lot of exposure to multiple technologies which increases your marketability for when you leave.

Cons

This is one of the most frustrating sales jobs out there. There is very little sales going on, it is all firefighting. Even processing a simple order can take 20 steps. The management hires incompetent people to manage as well as act as Team Leads. They hire who they like best, not who will challenge the pervasive incompetence of the directors etc.

Pros

A pretty flat management structure makes decisions quick, but almost all power is concentrated that way. Also it's a company of fierce loyalty to old timers who may not be the right people for the company today. It's run almost like two companies, one very typical for churn and burn smb sales, and one very traditional, for enterprise, value-add, long term, huge company clients.

Cons

If you got in back in the beginning, you might be golden, but getting in now you'll be a number. That's OK for some people, and it is still a good company that wants to do the right thing for its clients
