Pros

High tech industry allows you to get exposure to a unique business model . The primary focus of online custom orders for computers is something that you don't typically see in the high tech industry.

Cons

Dell is very transactional. The Dell business model is closely tied to a 90 day/Quarterly measurement period so if you are a strategic and big picture thinker you may become frustrated working at Dell. Management is typically promoted from within and the company does not put much emphasis on training/development so the new managers really struggle with understanding the basic skills of a good manager.

Pros

The people are the best part of this job. I have met so many amazing people in this role. Even some I would consider life long friends. I think the experience gained from this job has also been useful for any sales role you may need for any future endeavors in sales or the tech industry.

Cons

Upper management has made many changes to the compensation and the metrics which has for sure effected employee satisfaction. Turnover rate is insane as there’s a new hire class literally every month. Dell itself is running out of room and they are not making any new teams for the new hire classes which has left more tenured reps in a vulnerable position.
