A bunch of tyrannical meatheads running sales
Pros: Nothing. If you are lucky, you will be placed in a territory that actually generates revenue through effective prospecting, has license renewals that will help achieve quota, and get scored with a great manager (although those are hard to come by in sales orgs at Oracle).  You will also learn how to deal with idiotic customers, and idiots around you. Oh, and snail-paced internal processing. No work from home policy.
Cons: Too many to list. As a college hire from a top school, I can thank Oracle Sales for making me lose all of my brain cells by being surrounded by co-workers who have never read a book in their lives (minus us overqualified college hires from top schools). Surrounded by lower-tiered school hires because sales execs running the Sales Academy program went there (not going to name them), which meant working with bros and bimbos. Managers are just there to get to field positions and could care less about you. As long as you are making money, they make money. 

Also be prepared to be presented with unrealistic and un-achievable quotas. Like the rest of us you can still  bust your butt and not be successful-- which is also another harsh reality of sales.
