Interesting
Pros: I learned a ton about enterprise computing, data centers, applications, middleware, and how everything fits together.  It's all very cool and high level stuff that runs the modern world.
Cons: I had an inexperienced manager, who gave very little direction on how to run day to day business. Basically it's sink or swim at Oracle - the training is not comprehensive enough to help you succeed.   Oracle provides you with all the things you need to run a business, but no direction or guidance. 
Cold calling the same account list every week gets old very fast and customers hate it.  
Turnover is high as people get burned out from the grind.  The environment is stressful as management is intimidating and not willing to provide structured feedback or coaching.
Ultimately your territory dictates your ability to hit your quota. If you have oil and gas industry when oil prices are at their lowest price in 10 years, and your accounts are going bankrupt - your not going to hit.
