Pros

It is a great place to begin your marketing career in the IT industry. You will be exposed to all the different elements of channel marketing. There are also many opportunities for advancement if you do well. Also, working for a large company provides access to many different resources. We have many onsite classes offered include 7 Habits, Franklin covey to classes on software such as Microsoft, Oracle, etc.

Cons

Salary is below industry average. Promotions have a set increase of 10%, no negotiation. So whatever your starting salary is, that is what your basis for promotions moving forward. Even if you fall below the minimum pay grade of the position you are promoted to. The workload is incredible. This is an extremely lean company. Not many resources in terms of help. Also, working for a matrixed company has its own challenges.
