Pros

Great pay, benefits and the ability to work from home.

Cons

Unbearable work hours...not enough staff...and those that were there were back-stabbers. In most organizations, Marketing has power because they drive sales/revenue. In this organization, the field team had all the power because they managed the partner relationships. They say "jump" and marketing says "how high". Because the salaries are super competitive, no one wants to lose their job, so you need to be perfect or expect to have a target on your back because someone will ultimately make you the blame for something that may go wrong.
