Account Manager
Pros: Generally laid back environment if you are making your numbers.  Health benefits are solid and other perks such as happy hours a plus.
Cons: Competition with other lines of business will prevent you from making sales. Absolutely no incentive to work with other lines of business and collaborate on deals. You are taught to not speak about your deals on the floor/cafeteria/any public area for fear that another Rep will swoop in and take credit out from under you. This has happened an unbelievable amount of times to myself and others.  For success in sales at Oracle, all that matters is the territory you are assigned, of which you have no say, even as a tenured employee.  The companies only concern is the bottom line. Lastly, your job will be in the chopping block every new start of the fiscal year. If you are laid off you will likely be replaced with a younger version of you.
