Pros
The pay for sales was decent for a while when they brought in qualified, experienced sales professionals. I liked my colleagues- we could commiserate over beers together.
Cons
The last few years the best sales people have left and they replace them with younger less experienced college grads. Management and HR have little clue what motivates people and they prefer younger sales engineers that they can mold and make them believe this is how it is everywhere. Growth every year is difficult based on their commission plan. Ask them to explain IN DEPTH the "delta" commission plan before signing on- most good sales people leave after a good year because the self defeating plan makes consecutive successful years nearly impossible. This is the definition of "Old Boy Network"- if you don't want to brown nose you are best getting out.
