IBM Inside Sales in Smyrna, GA:   (Past Employee - 2008)

Pros

-Great benefits when compared to other companies.
-Big company = lots of opportunities
-The risk of failure vs. the risk of reward in inside sales is pretty good

Cons

-It's a big machine, you might inadvertently get chewed up by it.
-Moving around within the company is a crap-shoot, you might end up in a spot that's terrible, but you have little way of knowing ahead of time.-\
-Lots of people slacking off, hiding within the protective confines of the big machine.
-The right hand doesn't know what the left is doing

Advice to Senior Management

The process for getting and being awarded raises sucks and is what caused me to leave. I was earning less money every year when compared to inflation, and new hires would always be brought in at about my level of pay due to 'current market rates'.
