Pros

Lots of great people to work with. The vacation days are plentiful, and necessary. The Eagan campus has a workout room and free classes every day as well as a game room with darts and pool and fuseball. They have shuttles to the parking lot when it gets cold. And a nice holiday party every year for employees with children.

Cons

Management doesn't care, sees employees simply as a drain on revenue. Employees are always the first thing to go when they need to make any kind of cuts. We're expendable. They do massive layoffs every year. There is little to no room for advancement. I was not paid a living wage. They try to make you forget about how awful it can be to work for a company so soulless by putting in game rooms and Subways.

Watch out for the re-orgs

Pros

I was in Sales at TR Legal (West) for about 8-10 years. Certain territories and products offer the ability to make a lot of money - but, 2014 is the year of Finance cracking down on comp plans and ensuring that doesn't happen. 2015 might be different. As a salesperson, the TR brand will open doors for you. Some of the products are phenomenal, and even when your product shouldn't otherwise be in the mix for consideration, sometimes you'll still be in the mix. Ability to work from home is great if that's something you value. Overall the comp can be good when things are humming along.

Cons

Since 2008 it's been almost annual reorgs of the sales force as the company tries to find growth. If senior management gets up at a meeting and promises "no more re-orgs," don't believe it for a second. If you're smart you can end up in a good position for the following year, or you can end up in a bad spot. New comp plans and territories will be launched on Jan 1 each year and "surprise" here's your mission for the next 12 months, you will have very little say in the matter. It's not political (mostly), its just whatever management decides is the strategy du jour. If you don't work in New York or Minnesota, your career options are going to be very limited, and it will be just a job. HR only hires and fires, they pay no attention to ongoing employees.
