Vantaggi
Sales positions are rewarded very well but they come at the cost of your personal life. TEK try's to make sure you feel like you are with your friends and family at work to mask the fact they they consume any chance you have of work life balance. Your days is never the same, something new always comes up and there are lots of opportunities to grow and learn skills.
Svantaggi
If you are in a non-sales role just know that sales drive the company; policy's, respect and culture are all comprised for $$$ Avoid HR and customer support positions, the culture is toxic. While its great to see female leaders its also horrifying to feel the peer pressure to fit a mold. If you don't fit in with the leadership clique they will openly try and push you out. Pay for non-sales roles is not competitive. Get experience and get out. I stayed too long on empty promises but I am fortunate to have gained leadership experience to move onto something better. Sales is groomed to treat others as if they are beneath them, you would think this is a thing of the past and its actually pretty disturbing. Sales leadership has also been known to treat recruiters poorly to try and break them. They bully you and belittle you, if you cry you are seen as weak. I've seen both male and females be broken down and crying due to the way they have been treated by leadership.
