Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Channel Manager
Pros: Very autonomous position with little management supervision.  If you are a self starter and can function without a lot of direction this is a great position.   Great benefits and 401K program.  
Having the name of "IBM" on you business cards allows you access to many customers who might otherwise not give you the appointment
Cons: Lots of hours... Typical day is from 7-7.   Travel is 50-75%.   Quota's at times can be unattainable.  
Heavy on spreadsheet work and cadence calls.
