Pros

Stable company, moderately paced work environment Easy to maintain a work life balance Good benefits Good place if you want to work with a larger company that doesn't quite have the large company mentality.

Cons

Different departments have different standards for promotions. Very political...don't upset the wrong person, it can be a very quick career ender

Pros

The commission rocks here and my monthly take home pay is on average EUR1000 more than other companies. In my view Solarwinds is the best sales job in Cork. Not saying it's an easy gig but this is the New York of Inside Sales and the place you gotta prove yourself in if you want to be the best. Company gym. Free soft drinks, confectionary, hot beverages and yoghurts. Free lunch Wednesdays. Free coffee Friday. Cash spiffs. Subsidized cinema tickets. Nice location/office/business park. Sound management and work colleagues... the people here really make Solarwinds! They know how to celebrate, and company nights out involve plenty of drink vouchers.

Cons

Even though all good sales people get a buzz from being outside their comfort zone, sometimes there's a tendency by management here to try to speed up the sales cycle when a considered approach might work better in some cases. That said they give very honest feedback and you learn quickly in this environment!

Pros

Great benefits. Good job for someone with 2-3 sales experience who wants to make $60k. Not bad for a 24-25 year old. Easy transactional sale. Just do the same thing every day and you can make money. Buddy up to the managers/directors and just "follow the model." Not much to think about, really.

Cons

No training. No management. Won't learn a new skill-set to progress your career. Very, very difficult to make $100k
