Pros

The is a division of Oracle that sells the training for all Oracle products. No Pros

Cons

Very demanding with quota. The quota can never be met and the expectations are unfair. Then when you don't hit your quota you get put on plan or written up. You have to talk a more than 2 hours on phone to customers and if you don't you get written up. Some territories are set up so you sell against other Sales people and compete within the organization leaving deals to get poached and stolen from you. Internal management is horrible with large egos and no understanding of what the sales people have to do to close a deal. Very unfair on how they approve discounts with customers all for different amounts. No consistancy and policies quickly changes with the weather changes. Don't work for this Oracle Division, it is HORRIBLE!

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
