Pros

Great benefits and flexibility within the job.

Cons

Performance reviews are not always accurate. Often times managers do not even realize what their own employees are working on. Raises are small and hard to come by. Tough to learn and grow within a position.

Pros

Flexibility and being trusted to do the job correctly. Not a great deal of micro management, although things do get quite focused towards the end of quarter. Good training opportunities.

Cons

Quotas are set based on increasing revenue from the same period last year. This sometimes creates an imbalance if large one-off sales occurred as next year's target is based on the previous years achievment.
