Pros

Freedom. An outside sales person does not have to be confined in an office. Additionally, there is a considerable amount of opportunity to take time off to do things in one's personal life. Also, there is a fairly decent opportunity to make a fair amount of money.

Cons

Management is incompetent. There is very little upward growth opportunity. The customer retention rate is awful. Employees are not treated fairly or valued. I saw many employees fired without warning or reason. The pay is not sufficent to attract good employees and there is a tremendous amount of employee turnover. There is no loyalty, at all!

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
