Horrible Managament/changing comp plan
Pros: Health Care is top notch. There are pockets of really smart people and really kind people that work at Oracle (usually not management). You can accidentally make a lot of money. If your territory has big fish in it, they will call you. Work here, then get paid a lot more for getting another job somewhere else.
Cons: Comp plan changes randomly in the middle of the year along with accelerators. Nobody can explain how you get paid. Expected to work while sick if there is a deal on the table. The guy sitting in the seat for 1 month just made his years quota. Public or team embarrassment is the key method of motivation. Managers don't train or teach technique, they simply threaten and abandon. It takes hours to do a expense report. It takes weeks to get a deal approved and then they ask why it's not closed 8 hours later. It takes months to close an audit after it's complete. Call matrix are random - "Make 400 phone calls and pipe 10 opps in the next 3 days," when you only have 900 companies on your list for the year and "close those three deals and don't forget your expense report from the week of travel you just did and I won't approve overtime, so get moving." If you're smarter than your manager you should just quit now. If you are kinder than you manager, you just became dog food. Can't get a raise after 3 years of hitting quota. The rookie will make more money than you. Snitches and tattletales are a prized possession of management.
