Pros

Well known company Learn how to sell “the Gartner way” Meet a lot of people

Cons

1. If you don’t immediately fit in with your frat and sorority aka onboarding class good luck finding work friends. - most of these people aren’t trustworthy and only care about their selves at the end of the day. 2. Management is hit or miss - mine is a miss. My manager picks favorites and AVP told me straight up my manager does not like me and the only way to make them like me is to act like them. (Toxic) 3. Pay is below industry average - you can make more working in retail. 4. Managers won’t defend you to clients who are nasty and don’t even mind to remember your name.
