Avantages
If you are fresh out of college with no solid prospects, "cut your teeth" there to learn all the things reviewers said. Work there 1-2 years and take a better job as soon as you can. The experience of working with vendor reps is good experience for your future. Many companies out there know about them and will hire you knowing why you didn't last long.
Inconvénients
When I was there in Sunnyvale CA office around '86 to '89, they didn't even have computers! Every other distributor like them did. Paper inventory books for entering purchases and sales was a joke. It led to so many mistakes that they would have been to buy an entire network for their staff on the realized savings. They seem to "churn" fresh out of college males, work them till they're pissed, then get another when they leave. They don't have to layoff.
