Pros

I have worked here for over 6 years and the people on my team were great however there is low morale due to favoritism. There is the ability to earn commission (which % decreased 2 years ago significantly), you do get 2 weeks paid vacation time, ok health insurance, its conveniently located and there used to be a lot of vendor perks.

Cons

Management doesn't help women or unfavored people in general to grow in the company since I have worked there. The Directors are consistently giving business to friends and other male reps within their teams and not evenly distributing leads. Absolutely favoritism for the presidential reps. A few years ago the CFO decided to removed multiple ways we were getting paid and created a negative feature that we give a % of our pay to the renewals reps instead of the company paying them. Last year so many of the spiffs which were the basis of how we were getting paid have been removed. Overall it takes too long to actually make a good salary and is basically a rat race. The money isn't guaranteed.
