Pros

It's tough to boil down a great experience into a "pitch" for others, but for what it's worth, joining Gartner was the best professional decision of my career. The professional development alone is huge. We are expected (and trained) to speak with conviction to C-level executives everyday. Gartner gives you the tools to do this well, which creates all kinds of professional opportunities in and of itself.

Cons

Compared to the tech sales industry, turnover seems very low, but is still a factor, especially within the SMB channel. Getting a good-great area manager seems to make the difference. Leadership knows this and is actively working towards trying to close the gap.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
