Pros

Name brand makes it easy to get meetings Product is valuable Easy to hit quota even if you are below average at sales

Cons

Below market pay Commission plan is not that good you can get better plans at startups yet they wave an 87% retention rate around 401k match is low max out is lower Health insurance is built for single/young people Family leave is the legal bare minimum Training/onboarding is a confused mess A custom clunky unused CRM (this is not a joke) they are a 4.5 billion dollar company and they donot have salesforce.com or hubspot nothing. You have to manage your pipeline and leads in excel and use your outlook calendar to keep track of opportunities/leads. No call/meeting notes on previous meetings exist make sure you are good at keeping files and you might save yourself a few hours each week trying to find things. This company is cheap and it shows.

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.
