Middle management is generally incompetent, short sighted and dishonest.

Pros

Free food but you can get paid better elsewhere and pay for your own choice of food.

Cons

Company is going through a very trying period of post IPO sustaining mode. Valuable human resources who brought the company to public are not treasured - they are leaving or let go. Replacement resources are filling in ten fold with lower productivity, less capability and no desire to deliver.

Pros

-Free Food makes it convenient to eat lunch. -Learn a lot from peers -Benefit packages -Building network of high level clients -Guest speakers -Hack Days to learn of some possible new ideas

Cons

The higher management preach leverage leadership while the lower management don't bother to leverage those who are asking for help. They will place a cold shoulder to struggling sales reps rather than help those who are asking for help. Some of the managers have their ivy league degrees yet they don't use it to leverage others. They use their degree to have others leverage them. The territory and account list is not evenly distributed and fair to meet quota standards. There will be account executives who have better list of accounts and territory which will go in their favor on meeting their numbers. If you are given a territory with companies that will make a difference with meeting your numbers and how managers treat you.
