Avoid working here if you can. Don't trust the reviews, management asks current employees to write them. - OUTSIDE SALES The Flyer Employee Review

Pros

The base salary is nice if you are coming straight out of college.

Cons

It seems like a great opportunity at first, but the truth is that you will be assigned a territory and all of the best accounts and prospects in that territory are already taken by the senior reps. They micromanage, you will fill out a "daily" that tracks each business you went to that day and your manager may even show up randomly in your territory to check up on you. The Flyer magazine is outdated and quite honestly it does not work. Most business owners already know this because the company has been around for 40 years. There's not much opportunity for a new rep to go out there and make money.

Pros

+ This job offers some very solid and stable positions, particularly for sales and designers. + Work culture is overall respectful and joyous. + Communication between sales and graphic designers is very effective and generally pleasant. + Team work is very important and often integral to success.

Cons

- Some weeks work can either be abundant and chaotic or extremely limited (not a very frequent problem) - Whenever there's major changes in the company they can be somewhat daunting upon first heating (however management does a phenomenal job at working with its employees to ensure the best possible outcome for all parties involved)

Pros

Great management team that all were promoted from being Account Representatives themselves and have a true understanding and expectations of being an OSR in today's market. My manager in particular makes working every day fun, positive and upbeat. Lucky to have him and his experience to get advice from.

Cons

Training needs a little more technical advances to speed up the learning curve but as with most jobs you can study all you want but until you really start to do it is when you really know how to.
