Pros
The obvious....It's Oracle and they have been doing this a long time. Some great products, some good products and some products that need to go away. They hire a ton of college grads and at times its a frat house if you like that and want to bro out. Along come the hiring of some good looking women as well right out of college and I am sure you can see how this plays out. Calling customers is easy because it's Oracle. Having them listen is a different story. If you actually show up to work and get it done, you can make some good money. Depending on how you network and promote your personal brand, you might be able to move up. Just you normal benefits with a gym for you to use. No great stock plan and you get something around 5% discount on purchase. Most come to Oracle to get a resume bump, maybe learn something if you apply yourself and then move on. Go on LinkedIn and pretty much every company has ex-Oracle reps, so you are in a large network.
Cons
The obvious...It's Oracle and they bash customers to death. Some business lines have so many overlays, they have 20 reps calling in for the same thing. Little crazy and customers are always complaining they want to talk with one person. A ton of infighting between reps and especially outside reps and inside sales reps. If they would just work as a team, you might actually get a strong team to go hit the market, but everyone wants to throw you under the bus. Benefits are nothing great and the only thing is the gym. The equipment was purchased when Larry started the company, so pretty old, but you can get the job done. Half the managers are young and inexperienced so you only learn what they know and that is not much at time. Becoming a young sales company with all the hiring of college grads. Most of the VP's are clowns and have a huge chip on their shoulder. They either worked up to that roll or came back after a quick ride at another company trying to bring in a fresh perspective. Never works and just preach the same old song and dance. Many people just hiding out and buying their time to move on to the next gig. Advancement can be a pain most of the time and your pay does not equal what others should get. Never understood why you move from inside to the field and they don't pay accordingly. They rather bring in someone from the outside and pay them more.
