Pluspunten

Some of the best sales training around. Extensive class on negotiating, cold calling, leaving voice messages, etc.. Oracle Direct (inside sales group) does recognize top performers with awards and there are quarterly events. Sr. rep program allows you to work from home up to 2 days a week.

Minpunten

Starting salary is low. I took a $20K pay cut to work here only before the OTE were greater. This was fine for awhile but the company does not pay out their employee's correctly on commission. If you are not paid on a deal you have to submit a form to rectify the mistake and that can take 30-90 days until you are paid. This was happening so much that in June 2013 the company took away the 30 day pay-out and now pays their commissions out in 45 days. So anything I would close in September, I don't get paid on until November 15th. The management is very micro-managing. They will sit at your desk and listen to your calls on a splitter. The call stats you are supposed to complete each week are not realistic. On numerous occasions, employees will be asked to sell a product that they do not get paid on and will be promised a SPIF or prize (like an ipad). One employee was the top seller on a certain product like this and instead of sending her an ipad, they sent her a check, that was taxed and was not even enough to buy an ipad. It seems that they do not believe in employee retention because if you want to move to the field, the salary increase is no worth it. You may get a 6% salary increase. If you were to switch companies for a field job you can get a 6 figure salary easy. This is a big reason why Oracle Direct has such high turn-around.

Pluspunten

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).

Minpunten

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.
