Things to consider..
Pros: - This job has a great work-life balance. Typical hours tend to be 8-4 with staying past 5 being an extreme rarity 
- Great pay for the amount of work you are doing on a day to day basis
- Good opportunities to meet new people fresh out of college
- If motivated, there is a good amount of opportunity to get promoted within the first year and a half or less
- Potential work from home Fridays depending on your performance
Cons: - The work is mindnumbing. I stopped learning new skills about 3 months into the role. You can easily get your work in 2 hours leaving you bored the remaining 6 hours of the day.  Can be easy to feel like you aren't using your brain the majority of the day
- People fake their metrics and hit their quota by working the system. It can be frustrating for people that are doing honest work and the other that cheating can receive a bigger bonus than you.
-  You get lost in a massive system that is Oracle. Often your direct sales team will ignore you because they don't "need you" making it nearly impossible to do your job properly. They are so many people working the same account that it ends up being a crazy mess both internally and externally to the customer. 
- Management can be pretty weak. Some of them barely show up and don't provide much guidance to young developing professionals
- A lot of upper management "drinks the koolaid" and has a hard time comprehending the major issues in our day to day job. When given the opportunity to give feedback to management is often brushed off with nothing being done about it. 
- high turn over rate with senior reps, upper management, and BDC
