Pros

You work with some amazing people and form lasting relationships. The training is second to none and the trainers are amazing.

Cons

They don't tell you that at any time during training you can be let go. This adds a lot of stress to people who move half way across the country just for a position. Once you do finally make it to the sales floor it is luck of the draw to where you land. If you're lucky you will land on a team such as healthcare or finance. If you don't... Well good luck hitting your number. Another major down fall is managers. They promote people based on their numbers and give no thought into how well they lead. I have personally seen some of the best talent walk away from Gartner because of it. Also, do not go to upper management if you have any issues. They will side with the manager 9 times out of 10.

Pros

Being a globally recognized company makes it easy to consistently engage clients. Great benefits. Amazing people (managers and colleagues) For the most part there is a clear path to success and promotions. Executives listen to feedback after every internal call to help guide strategy.

Cons

In office mandate increasing in office days from once a month to once a week. Need to live in Florida or Texas because of the in office mandate. Promotions take a while since there are many people going for the same roles. Hard to reach clients and constant territory’s shifting makes it difficult to achieve the numbers you and management expect.
