Pros

Some very good products and some very good people. Great facilities, good benefits, and a comfortable environment,

Cons

The comp plan is confusing and totally bizarre. Senior management can be inept at times and rather than replace the bad people, they just keep adding worse people. The sales compensation can be great sometimes, but that is usually followed by a huge overcorrection the following year. I would not suggest that a salesperson does not join Bentley, but would just tell them to go in eyes wide open and know that you will be totally frustrated in a few months (again, you can make a lot of money sometimes, but not all the time)
