Pros

Sales training is good, although enforcement isn't great. Well known brand everyone knows about it.

Cons

Typical cons associated with a giant company. Systems are disparate, and everyone has their own way of doing things. So many companies being bought by oracle, but don't do a good job of integrating everything well. A lot of different resources all over the place, no good processes, everyone's just trying to bring order to chaos in their own way. Bad place for young people to be in, unless you get lucky and have an awesome manager, and awesome team. But yet again, some people's experience might have been awesome. Because of the disparate processes, and no transparency, you never know who might be enjoying their job and able to advance their career.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
