Regardless of who you work for and what you do, the opportunities that exist at Dell for either advancement in skill or increase in pay are only limited to only to an individuals ambitions and choices. Because of the many benefits in the parameters Dell has in the workplace to help everyone achive his or her goals, everything you acquire in skills and knowledge has endless opportunities waiting you while there, as well as taking them with you beyond Dell.
Cons
Inheritance: Though no company is immune to what comes down the proverbial chain to those below, when "trimming the fat" off to make the machine function leaner, it can sometimes result in management retaining a few bad "nuts" when chucking out the bolts that make them necessary. That said, I've experienced some managers who have had great skills, but coupled with bad management appetites. And that, as we know, can lead to problems affecting workplace morale to employees being treated unfairly - this being personally observed and reported, can sometimes negatively impact even the annonymous in an open-door policy sanctioned workplace.
