Vantaggi
-Awesome Location in Center City, occupying the 20th floor which makes for great views of the city -Most of the AE's are goodpeople, and are the only ones that try to make a positive team atmosphere -Having IBM on your resume will open doors down the line in your career -Sales Managers care about your success -Exposure to the Channel and C-Level Execs. -Relaxed work hours and PTO policy
Svantaggi
-Like other reviews have mentioned, unless you are a "chosen one" or "favorite" you will not get leads or opportunities -Salary is way to low, which is why they are now just hiring kids out of college with no real experience in IT Sales -Revolving door, each day I came in someone left and someone new started -Upper Management is misleading and keeps sales force in the dark -Cold calling is an archaic form of selling, and the market is so saturated it is impossible to make goals -Work environment is negative, as the experienced Reps are bitter because of the way leads and opportunities are handled -No upward mobility, make a bunch of calls for a year if you can make it that long, and get a better Job elsewhere
