Pros

For sales people: quick sales cycle, quick wins, and guaranteed to be on a pedestal For operations people: nothing

Cons

No established career ladder, no career development or management development program. Overly Sales dominated organization with typical leadership attitude of close the deal at whatever the cost and figure out how to deliver on the contract later. Sales is never held accountable for selling deals that the company can not deliver on or at least deliver on profitably. Operations teams are always blamed for sales team issues and often terminated as a result. In five years, only saw 3 sales people terminated out of 85 sales positions. Same time I saw 9 operations people terminated out of 25 positions. In five years, I saw 25 sales people promoted out of 85 sales positions. Same time I saw 2 operations people promoted out of 25 positions.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
