Pros

Laid back dress code and environment, friendly co-workers, good life/work balance, great benefits and perks, low stress for the most part.

Cons

Incompetent management (they all come from sales), very sales-driven, so it's difficult to advance without sales experience, low salaries (unless in sales), workload ebbs and flows, so you can either be extremely bored or too busy to breathe.

Pros

Great people. I don't know anyone who hates their boss. The work is interesting, the hours are reasonable, and I've made a lot of good friends.

Cons

Low pay and hard to advance.

Pros

Great benefits package including company car, phone, computer, T&E, health & retirement. Great bonuses if you produce. National Sales Meetings have some enjoyable elements. Opportunity to advance if you're willing to relocate.

Cons

Salary is low unless you produce and reach upper bonus tiers. Work schedule is heavy during sales season, 60 - 70 hour work weeks aren't uncommon. Some communication breakdown from upper management.
