Employment status: current

Great to get your foot in the door, or great to come back to later in your career
Pros: -Very structured (could be a con, but if this is an introductory sales job, it can be very helpful)
-Pay is relatively competitive for an entry level sales position, albeit it is hard to make your number during your first year
-Very fun if you have a good manager and solid team
-Campus offers a gym, multiple restaurants, and good running trails
-One of the best sales training programs in the industry (MAJOR PLUS for introductory salespeople)
Cons: -Managers are really more like micromanagers
-If you don't have a good territory, it is very hard to hit your number, and you've left with your base pay (which isn't that much by itself)
-Very hard to get any kind of base pay raise
-Doesn't have the "fun" atmosphere of most other tech companies (if that's what you're looking for)
-You definitely feel like a cog in the wheel... Oracle does not care whether you come or go, and most individuals that I know leave before their first 2 years is up
-Quality of life at Oracle is heavily dependent on whether or not you have a friendly manager and team
