Outside Sales Rep
Pros: Great Salary, benefits, *initial training. Work with a lot of very smart and talented people. Lots of flexibility to move to different parts of the company. Very progressive in letting employees work from home.
Cons: Not much of a standardized sales process. If you struggle with ambiguity of lack of direction then it most likely not the place for you. Once your out of training, its sink or swim and as an outside rep you do not get a lot of additional support. Keep in mind IBM is a big company with a sales force of 7,000 strong with 5/6 different business units, so this is not true of the every part of the company just my experience within the business unit I worked in.
