Experience level: Junior

ODA Inside sales. Stay Away.
Pros: Salary is really good for one of the poorest regions in Spain
Weather and Spanish way of life
Good for the CV if you are a new starter in sales/business
New project...so it can evolve in a good way. Maybe.
Cons: - Lots of cold calling. 
- No business development unit to give you leads.
- Poorly organized project
- Unreachable targets
- Selling depends on luck about the accounts you have and the country you work for, nothing esle.
- You compete against other Oracle's business units
- Self Service company: don't expect any help for anything. You lose a lot of time doing everything by yourself
- Cost effective position for the company: you do telemarketing, ISR and sometimes presales without any salary compensation.
- Commissions don't get paid and you have to fight with heavy admin processes to get it
- Only one Hardware product to sell....and the most difficult one.
- You will have to do a lot of lobbying and political moves with other people within the company if you want to be able to work normally.
- Lots of traffic jams in order to get to the office depending on where you live. Sometimes 1 hour drive time to do 10km. Unacceptable for a small city like Malaga.
