Pros

Benefits & compensation For juniors it's a great place to jump start your career You will learn a lot.. Especially with regards to stress-resistance, restraint, and tolerance. Not too male dominated

Cons

Extremely high fluctuations: Typical American hire & fire policies, even in Spain - never assume that just because you're hired within the fiscal year they'll keep you for the next FY. Toxic work environment: prepare for people you've never dealt with trying to "steal" your compensation on a deal you closed single-handedly. The company fosters competition between colleagues in a way that is absolutely counterproductive. The worst part is that your clients know that already so forget about building a trusting relationship with them, they know you'll be gone by tomorrow. Never seen that before, but it's common business at this company. That place is full of selfish sharks who will try to manipulate your leads so you don't get to close your deal on your own territory & customer base. Some of you might say that this is standard in the life of a sales person. It shouldn't be necessary to spend 80% of your time fighting inside of your company and not being able to focus on your clients.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to earn well over $100,000.00 with Standby pay and OT. Plus, mileage reimbursement of $.70 a mile.

Cons

Sometimes tedious work below what I would consider for an experienced FE such as hard drive destruction bin audits and checking in equipment.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
