Pros

Profitable company that distinctly has a financial future.

Cons

There seems to be no real distinct Dell culture, outside of the traces of culture that float around from other companies it has acquired. For the most part the company is embodiment of the old IBM stereo-typical "shirt and tie" business model that died with the boom of tech startups. Dell seems to be demonstrating a desire to prove that it can manage the merger of companies that it acquires regardless of how much mind-share/talent/culture it looses during the acquisition. At one point in time we had 1 Manager and 2 Project Managers overseeing the work of 6 IT administrators. All the while we were being told that our future would be pivoting the focus to process/procedure over productivity/performance.

Pros

The people are the best part of this job. I have met so many amazing people in this role. Even some I would consider life long friends. I think the experience gained from this job has also been useful for any sales role you may need for any future endeavors in sales or the tech industry.

Cons

Upper management has made many changes to the compensation and the metrics which has for sure effected employee satisfaction. Turnover rate is insane as there’s a new hire class literally every month. Dell itself is running out of room and they are not making any new teams for the new hire classes which has left more tenured reps in a vulnerable position.
