Pros

Very healthy 401k matching and a rich benefit portfolio. A huge amount of PTO, nearly 200 hours/year with 40 hours transferring YOY. Rigorous training, eat what you kill environment.

Cons

Pricing strategy has changed immensely and directly affected sales reps abilities to sell. Micromanagement for soft metrics is driving many reps from this position to look externally for opportunities - feels as though failure to perform to seemingly arbitrary data is honed in on but wins are not celebrated to the same extent. Tough to promote, management asks for feedback but the feedback doesn’t seem to drive any call to action. Many SBC’s at the top of the chain who experience the most success are corporate shills who don’t have any real troubles in their highly developed territories.

Pros

Very community service focused, people in many departments are terrific and helpful, internship programs are good for business majors and others.

Cons

Lots of product lines and teams and databases so communication and getting answers can take effort, probably like most big companies.
