Pros

Compensation and benefits are the only pros

Cons

Dell was maybe once a great place to work, but the company has unfortunately gone further down hill every year. Dell is toxic and run by horrible leadership on every level. Those in leadership positions are there for power and/or a higher pay check. They talk nonsense and have no idea what’s going on with the work or their team. Many of them can barely do their own work leaving no time to actually lead effectively as a people leader. It’s also rare that you collaborate with anyone that is actually happy to be at Dell. Everyone is overworked, under appreciated, and suffering in some way shape or fashion. It’s actually really sad. We have lost so many good people who quit because they were fed up or were laid off. There is constant turnover. The hybrid policy was the biggest f*ck you to all of us. Most offices were closed leaving us no choice but to accept no promotions, no T&E, and no respect. Those who were near an office didn’t like to be forced to go in. Dell doesn’t even pretend to care about their people anymore. It’s pathetic. If you’re still there, what are you doing? You’re better than Dell.

Pros

Healthcare, 401k match, flexible PTO

Cons

Where do I start? Management is subjective, if you are not a recent college grad then you are wasting your time. If you aren't on their list, you will get recycled leads and you will have to focus on regaining or new business. They will give the best leads and books of business to people they want to succeed. Forget a promotion if you are remote. They want people in office and do not let them tell you its any different. When there is any inkling of a downturn in economy, they will let you go in a heartbeat. Upper management talks a good game but lower management does the opposite. Stay away unless you want your career decided by incompetence and a dice roll. Do not bother if you are over the age of 30, agism definitely exists here or at least in Nashville. Salary is awful ($20 an hour plus commission) compared to other tech companies and commission can be ok if you hit at least 150%. Anything else, you will be questioning why you took this god forsaken job.

Pros

Very smart people to work with Encourages work-from-home For those who travel, a decently liberal travel policy Decent work/life balance

Cons

Dell CULTure is infecting the EMC culture. Given that EMC itself had a strange culture, it was still a company people loved, both employees and, clearly, enterprise customers. With the Dell merger it is all going in a terribly wrong direction because the Dell CULTure is truly an infection that'll take a gold standard enterprise company and turn it into the "race-to-the-bottom" box slinger, like Dell has always been. Also, it is very clear the debt is taking a toll on the company, so it creates an uneasy atmosphere.
