Pros

Dell is a fairly safe place to work. They rarely trim the fat on sales. As an underachiever, you're more likely to be moved to another org/team than let go. Work/life balance is fine. Unless you have a really bad VP/Dir, it's not high pressure. They do emphasize D&I. If you're not overly ambitious you can move up (they do promote from within), you just won't make a ton of money while you gain tenure.

Cons

The sales culture is really weak. Most of the EMC people have left by now. Those that remain still operate somewhat autonomously in the storage divisions, supporting the core teams. Culture is really just your direct boss and his/her boss. If they aren't good, you're SOL. There's very little sales enablement, and the tools and processes are bad. Compensation is low compared to the broader IT/Tech sales industry, especially if you come up through the inside sales program to a field role. Organizations are very siloed and the company feels as large as it is (not a good thing).

Pros

The people are the best part of this job. I have met so many amazing people in this role. Even some I would consider life long friends. I think the experience gained from this job has also been useful for any sales role you may need for any future endeavors in sales or the tech industry.

Cons

Upper management has made many changes to the compensation and the metrics which has for sure effected employee satisfaction. Turnover rate is insane as there’s a new hire class literally every month. Dell itself is running out of room and they are not making any new teams for the new hire classes which has left more tenured reps in a vulnerable position.
