Pros

Good peer co-workers. Free breakfast in sales dept.

Cons

Director of IT is a very cheap. Sub-par workstations. Crappy monitors. Would never buy software. Had to find freeware to do your job. Dev and test hardware VERY old. Would not use new software technology. Always denied for upgrades. REALLY??? We sold the stuff and we couldn't get any? Pretty sad! Unrealistic timelines. CIO / CTO - does not care about growing IT to reach next level, only making more money. Do more with a lot less. Does not care about employees / attrition. If you don't tow the line and go with the flow, your gone. After three months, I realized this was not a place to be long term. It was to be treated as a classroom / stepping stone and learn what you can to move on to something a lot better. Salary was well below industry median for my position. My raise after one year (can't believe I stayed that long), was a slap in the face. Benefits were terrible. Since i was not paid market value, i could not afford the overly expensive insurance.

Pros

Work from home is a perk for most. Some ability to travel and attend events with clients and prospects.

Cons

Where do I begin? If you really need a job, I get it but would not recommend it! So many issues- toxic culture, very siloed even within sales organization, leadership not to be trusted. Penny pinching on sales commissions and unrealistic sales goals.
