Pros

The benefits are exceptional: free health insurance, dental insurance, disability, 15 vacation days, 12 holidays, 6% 401K matching, ability to work from home

Cons

I was frequently on call which meant I had to carry a pager for a week every other month The raises and promotions were pretty minimal each year I was not allowed to apply to other internal position even after deciding upon an availability date upon hiring.

Pros

Great opportunities for advancement. Excellent training and benefits. Competitive base. Starting salary right out of college $35k + commissions. Ability to relocate

Cons

Software quotas are nearly impossible to achieve on any given level of expertise. This is almost expected. Management creates obtainable quarterly challenges to suffice real commissions. These are you usually quarterly bonuses of $1500-5000. Territory changes can be frequent
