Pros

You are given a chance to succeed. Most of the time the territories that are not filled internally will be more challenging, but you have a chance to make a difference and work it. It's not one of those companies where if you don't produce the first quarter, you are out. Plenty of resources and support to help - especially if you are at a HQ or large local office. People are very supportive and friendly. Leadership is approachable. Customer focused and ethical.

Cons

If you are single, a "dual-income, no kids" or not at HQ, all the "great place to work" and "fantastic benefits" comments may not mean so much to you. A lot of the benefits people praise are child care and health care on site for HQ employees. If you are a millenial or someone who is more aggressive, you may be frustrated at the 9-5 culture and mediocrity surrounding you. Leadership is home-grown. Same people in same positions forever so if you are looking to move up quickly, this may not be the place for you.

Pros

medical benefits access to learning materials surrounded by very intelligent older people, and motivated energetic young people a great place for a young person to start a career in analytics many perks if you work at HQ in Cary, NC simple and convenient way to add personal deviations to work travel pretty good IT support and travel support

Cons

managers do not go through any training and hence there are a lot of bad managers difficult to fit in when you are mid-career, not many opportunities to advance leadership qualities are not recognized or rewarded, focus is more on subject matter expertise, seniority, and who you know. 40 hour work week is often more than that travel and expense per diems are pretty low compared to other companies if travel internationally, you must ride in coach, they won't upgrade (even for a 17 hour flight) the CEO is a sweet man, but he is not a motivational speaker so town halls are boring Very poor communication during re-orgs very siloed roles, not much cross-training with a larger than normal population of high intelligence, is a larger than normal share of arrogance many of the perks that make SAS a great place to work do not apply to remote workers
