Pros: Decent work hours. Great benefits. A wide range of training and personal development resources are available to all employees, so take advantage of it from the get-go. If you do join, go in with a plan and get the experience you need to move on to the next job. Better yet, have that next job in mind so you know exactly what skills you need. Oracle is well known for being a tough place to work, so a decent run here earns you a badge of honor.
Cons: Very political environment with little opportunity to advance unless you're a friend of management.
Many inexperienced micro-managers who only know how to manage by intimidation
Below market salaries, delays in comp plans, and lots of problems getting paid correctly on commissions. 
Growing trend of offshoring inside sales to low cost centers.
