Summit Program (Full Time)
Pros: 6-12 month paid training with benefits.
Cons: Salary is lower than what you could get in other sales/technical sales roles.

Prepare to do a lot do a lot of busy work. Some of the training is not relevant or helpful to the role you'll be doing and the important stuff is given a very surface level overview. If you want depth, that will be up to you, and your time and money. 

Because there are so many layers of management, you are often given very conflicting advice on what priorities should be and what you should be working on. "It depends" comes up a lot for answers to what should be simple questions. The phrase "I'm By Myself" is very much true and you will have to spend a considerable amount of time to find people who can give you meaningful help and guidance in your professional career.

As for co-workers, some are very nice and smart, but overall, many are  incredibly cliquey, arrogant, lack maturity and do not embrace the goals of having an inclusive and diverse work culture.  If you do not like networking or working on team projects with people like this, you will have a very difficult time in this program.
