Field Technology Sales
Pros: They offer very good sales training and there are some of the smartest people you will meet working here.  Big company means if you are successful early, there are always opportunities for advancement
Cons: Poor company culture.  Fierce internal competition among sales teams with very little collaboration.  No emphasis on putting customer needs first.  Internal systems are very difficult to utilize and navigate and everyone depends on tribal knowledge to be passed down.  Soon as you learn a system it changes.  

I started as inside sales and was promoted to the field.  Terrible base salary that is well below market so was heavily dependent on commission to make money. Cyclical nature of the business means that you are left in feast or famine most of the time.
