Pros

Adequate pay, but absolutely not worth it.

Cons

They are literally working people to the point of sickness and death. Had to attend my coworker's funeral after he died of a heart attack brought on by work related stress at the young age of 38. He left a wife and children behind. Know of several others that died under similar circumstances here. The ambulance carries people out of this meat grinder on a regular basis. Almost funny when the rescue truck parks directly under their "Great Place To Work" banner (it should read: "Arbeit Macht Frei"). Their regular and unjustified layoffs are used as purges to eliminate those who can't be legally terminated. Once they make you sick, they see you as a liability to them and you will be ambushed at the next layoff, which is never very far away. In a blatant effort to remove anonymity from their employee satisfaction survey, management actually exported a copy of the survey onto an external website and forced us all to take it there, before submitting the real one - just so they knew exactly who said what about them. Imagine this: people are literally dropping dead around you and you're supposed to say what a wonderful job management is doing, or you will be laid off. Never have gotten a raise and have never even been paid my full salary in all the years I've been here. You will be forced to carry the workload of 6 or 8 different positions combined into one job. Everyone here is miserable and management has got "railroading" innocent people down to a science. Backstabbing, incompetence, corruption and politics are all rampant. The best thing you can do at this place is to leave. Haven't seen people treated this way outside of a concentration camp!

Pros

Huge company with opportunities to grow and work with other teams

Cons

The multiple time zones and countries meant a lot of night or early morning calls. Also layoffs were and are pretty regular.

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.
