Pros

Ability to work from home.

Cons

If you want a company that will work you to death, gives zero appreciation, small raises, and treat you terribly, this is the place for you. Virtustream is all over the place, they have way too much management and throw out senior director to anyone as long as they are completely incompetent and don't understand the product or operations at all. Public sector is an absolute train wreck and nightmare, upper management gives it no attention and the testing for the products that will run there are practically zero. The business tries to focus its talent and time into things that customers aren't asking for, they don't listen to you, and operations is horrendously anemic. Another main issue is that the company basically encourages bad employees, you work like crazy and another employee does almost nothing - good work team, carry on. You work an entire weekend, up till 4 am on Saturday, good job, pat on the back. 80 hours of work in a week might occasionally get you a $100 "reward" for you efforts, enjoy your $2 an hour of overtime. The company basically treats its employees terribly, my family has had to have an intervention with me. A previous coworker I worked with had a similar experience and was encouraged to quit for her health from being so stressed and exhausted.

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.
