Pros

Good benefits. Company Truck. Laptop and Phone

Cons

Laughably low salary. Like , poverty level low. Ideally you could make up the difference in commissions, but you will have a hard time doing that. Most markets, the demand has far exceeded the supply and thus customers are being driven to the competition. No raises whatsoever for outside sales staff. Been in the position for 6 years and have never received a pay increase, while my commissions have decreased yoy. Hiring trends have visibly shifted to a younger inexperienced group of candidates. You will have to sign a non compete, so going to a different company is out of the question. Very little upward mobility

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.
