Pros

The casual work environment was very nice and an unadvertised benefit in my opinion. There seemed to be quite a bit of potential for career advancement and/or movement within the company...if they thought you were a risk to leave and were what the performance process deemed a "high valued" or "exceptional" employee.

Cons

If you are within IT or IT Operations there is zero work life balance, where you will easily work 16+ hours each day (office hours, on-call, weekends, etc.). Constant re-organization was a head ache at times, because you may end up reporting to three different managers in one years time. And of course each manager had their own agenda's on what should be done and how it should be done. And of course Dell has absolutely no problem laying employees off (did not happen to me) if it means one additional dollar saved. And there seems to be no real reason for who they lay off at times. There have been some really good employees laid off simply because they made more than others on their team.

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.
