Race to the Bottom
Pros: Great support system, access to resources, great benefits, great facility
Cons: The opportunity for career progression and a lucrative sales career is greatly diminishing with the company moving its salesforce to a "class of" model- which is despite what Mark Hurd publicly states is primarily intended to lower wages and shrinking field headcount towards a primarily inside sales model selling cloud subscriptions. Rather than paying the most capable sales reps in the market commensurate with the value they bring, Oracle continues to hire armies of Business Development Reps days out of college with no IT background, who through no fault of their own add no value to the company and if anything are counterproductive in their requirement to harass customers who are already being called by the sales reps in all divisions of Oracle.
