Pros

Dell Computer is a large company, and because of that, they have a large number of resources to work with. I worked as a local campus representative, and I found that I was paid well and given plenty of incentives to keep working. Good work also received great recognition from within the company. At one point I was even telephoned by one of the VPs at Dell in Texas. I had three managers while working for Dell, and I have to say that to this day they are still the best managers I've ever worked with. All were motivated sales guys who had a lot to show for their hard work. So all in all, if you land the right spot with the right managers, you will get the resources you need, the incentives you want, and hopefully some great guidance.

Cons

The downsides of working at Dell really depends on your career path. As a local campus rep I did not encounter many downsides, except for some irregular hours. For sales position within Dell they did require you to work in Texas at the ground level for a minimum amount of time. I noticed that this requirement was not met by many sales guys who got in before this "idea" came about. By ground level I mean answering telephones and helping customers or clients. Being asked to work a job that doesn't actually require a college education is a bit of a disappointment.

Pros

Dell has good benefits for it's employees. The direct giving, healthcare plans, 401k, and the other various benefits that we have are all great plusses to working for Dell. Personally, I like the location. Round Rock/Austin is a great place to live and work. I donate to my church via the direct giving and is matched dollar for dollar for the full $5k per year by the company. Dell paid for me to get my masters degree via the educational reimbursement program and my family's doctors are covered under the medical plans. Overall, I am satisfied with Dell as an employer.

Cons

Give Dell credit, they either do things really, really great and at 100 mph, or they do things really, really badly and fail in spectacular fashion. Morale at the company could not be lower due what seems to be an endless parade of layoffs and internal reorganizations. Back in 2000 & 2001 when Dell laid off big blocks of people at a time, they made the news and were pounded locally for laying off so many so fast. To correct for that, the company now lays off in 50 to 100 packets of people over the course of months. The ending result is now EVERYONE is worried that thier time is just around the corner because the end doesn't seem to be in sight.
