Pros

- Pay was decent when I started (for area I live, $40k yearly isn't enough in premium markets) - Pick your areas to visit, flexible schedule - Your on your own day to day, visiting locations, not stuck in a office - Decent discount on wireless, rather have a work line provided though - Single person I sure pretty good - Company did good for us during first few months of COVID while Government made them

Cons

- No raises. Hope $40k base pay is enough for you - Commissions cut 20-25% even though company had 2nd best year in history, and clients had best year in about a decade - Mileage took over a year to raise, and even then is less than any other similar role I've had - Commissions based on the sales of the locations you cover, which you truly have little effect on. You can train them the best you can but with staffing issues, inventory issues, turnover, and the fact they sell multiple other carriers that have higher budgets and better rewards for selling their items your prob not gonna make what they tell you during interview. - Your salaried/no OT, and will be pushed to work 50-60 hours. It's only a matter of time before they get sued and switch to hourly with OT/40 hour work weeks like the other companies in this industry. Surprised it hasn't happened yet. - Your job will constantly pick up more responsibilities, with no compensation. Due to this you'll spend less time focused on improving sales (what little you can anyways) so your actually making less money than when you started.

Pros

DSI is a company with a family like culture. You get to connect and collaborate with others freely. If you're looking for growth, they practice what they preach, promote from within. I have several years with the company and look forward to many more.

Cons

None come to mind right now.
