Business Outlook
Pros
Great brand recognition. Big income possibilities if you exceed your quota. You will be surrounded by "A players" that are incented to help you sell. Broad array of software solutions in your bag. Market leading position. In the large company market, there is only one real competitor (Oracle). Integration and industry focused solutions with built-in best practices are great selling features.
Cons
Management pressure every quarter. Account shuffling every year sometimes means you lose accounts you have invested months to cultivate. You get a new Sales VP just about every year. License pricing from SAP Germany is confusing. No real SaaS solutions available to sell. Tough economy to sell big ERP.
