Not easy to achieve the paycheck promised

Pros

People I work with are great. I enjoy interacting with customers and coworkers. There are perks and benefits from vendors.

Cons

Stiff competition in the industry. Sales assistance can be difficult. Working with departments, manufacturers, customers, and others trying to put together an opportunity can prove very difficult. Goals constantly increasing to unrealistic expectations.

Pros

The people there really make the big difference. Lots of kids from all over the place moving to Chicago to begin their careers. Overall it is a great place to work.

Cons

Low pay for new grads in an expensive city. It would be nice if they could bump it a little to make it more attractive to people outside of state.

Pros

You can start at this company with little or no sales experience and they will give you an opportunity to prove yourself. Without the right manager, you are left on your own, so it is very manager dependent.

Cons

Little instruction or real teaching about specifics of selling to your sector. There is no support, so salespeople spend a lot of time clearing transactions, taking time away from selling - other firms delegate this to back office.
