Trapped in the machine
Pros: Oracle provides good training, there are beers every Friday, I worked with some of the best sales reps I ever met. Employees learn to get things done for themselves, they have to.
Cons: Need to be very narcissistic to advance or even succeed. No work life balance, even doctors appointments are frowned upon. Condescending management will criticize your performance even if you succeed always looking for another dime from the customer. Oracle does not give raises to sales people. Commission plan stays the same but quota grows arbitrarily, no territory analysis is given to quota assignments. As an inside rep your livelihood is dependent upon your outside rep's performance.
