Pros

You have access to a vast amount of technology insight that you can't get anywhere else. If you put in the time to read the reports you will be smarter that when you first joined. They provide the best sales training that is effective and powerful. You feel that you truly work for the best company in research and advisory - bar none. The Winner's Circle events are great recognition. More importantly, everyone is recognized when they do a job well done. Area Managers are very good at recognition in a timely manner. Work/Life balance is great. You work from home - so you must be a self-starter. The events wow every attendee.

Cons

High turnover of sales people. Limited career path in sales - Senior Account Manager to an Area Manager to 1 VP to SVP.
