Pros
Dell is a good place to learn. There are so many people you can kinda hide out. You can find some great co-workers that will let you wallow in misery together. I'm trying to be constructive here, but it's not the same place I started working at over 5 years ago. At least in non-transactional sales you get a decent amount of time off for holidays.
Cons
Compensation package has really gone down the tubes. Very unrealistic expectations coupled with severe penalties for not hitting are very demoralizing (anything under 90% means you loose a LARGE portion of your total compensation). Managers completely have their hands tied and can't do much to help their reps. Finally it's no fun anymore, people don't like coming to work.
