Pros

Best of breed products and services, pride of association both with the company, pride of association with peers, very flexible working options, from both time and location perspectives, virtually unlimited career opportunities, opportunities for international assignments, strong company culture, very good benefits compared to similar companies, can get in the door at virtually any sales prospect.

Cons

Below average pay compared to competition, far too many layers of management, too many people paid on the same deal, old fashioned command and control style of management, complex sales plans that are virtually impossible to understand, success punished with massive quota increases. But all of this is probably the same as at most other similar companies.

Pros

Provides for an unbelievable depth of resources, customer exposure and challenges

Cons

Can by, like most jobs, a difficult balancing act. As many employees are shifted to home offices, hours go up, vacation is put off and the clock is 24/7.
