Pros

Good pay, excellent training and initial investment, great products. If you're offered this job right out of college, take it and bust it for 2 years. Then reevaluate.

Cons

So much of your success depends on your assigned territory and product line. Highly structured and analytics-based so they have effective strategies but it can feel like you're hitting metrics for the sake of hitting them. Not interested in retaining the majority of their people past year 3, so the promotion structure is designed to phase people out by then. Conferences take place on weekends twice a year because it doesn't cost a sales day.
