Inside sales positions are a revolving door
Pros: Great benefits 
Potential to make good money in commissions
Cons: Turnover is incredible
50 calls a day and 2.5 hours on the phone per day are a requirement
Burnout is rampant 
Not really selling anything - more like hounding clients to make a decision
Potentially 15+ or more Oracle sales reps calling on the same people for a different product line
Amateur work environment for seasoned sales people
Mgt realizes that people will only stay for about a year, but don't do enough to try to keep good salespeople.  They just go into the prospect pool and fill the seats behind them causing confusion and distrust with clients
Oracle's philosophy is that a monkey can sit in some of these inside sales territories and thrive with transactional business - and that is true for the most part.
