Pros

Incredible 8 week training program for sales, extremely generous PTO (20/yr) and strong work/life balance (office is empty at 5:05), beautiful FL environment, in and out of the office. Beach and 5 shopping malls within 20 min drive. Values and culture are extremely important and those who don't align will not last long. Investment in your education, personal, and professional development keep you on your toes and consistently growing and learning. Your compensation is unlimited and benefits are near the top in corporate america. If you work hard and are good at what you do - $100K is more than attainable. If your are lazy and do just enough to get by - $65K is more realistic. Double digit commissions and quarterly bonuses each equaling a full year's rent is also nice. Bright people in the office through a very rigorous interview process (4th hardest last year behind MBB). No state income tax, low cost of living, and growing city with economy and housing market rebounding. Chicos is also HQ in Fort Myers with Hertz moving here in 2014. Local university (FGCU) right down the street. Gartner is a great company for "Yo-pros" in their mid to late 20's.

Cons

Almost too obsessed with bottom line. This is a business though and at the end of the day it's how Wall Street keeps score. If you don't like money...then this company is not for you. Must be very driven, receptive to feedback, and have a strong executive presence. Side note - snowbirds in winter pack the city with tons of old people.

Pros

Relative to other talent competitors, Gartner does a great job in providing opportunities for growth and advancement, with associates who possess the right mindset and drive the right business outcomes advancing more quickly.

Cons

While Gartner is continuing to grow, the pace of growth has temporarily slowed in recent years due to macro-economic factors and the misperception that AI is positioned to replace the business & technology insights that Gartner provides to its clients. It's been great to see the actions being taken this year to combat this perception and further invest in AI solutions internally to empower the organization.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
