Pros

-Flexible schedule -Company seems to truly want to improve educational products and has innovative products -Company car

Cons

The cons I experienced are as follows: low job security, poor training, average salary, extensive night work, unknown variables you can't control when selling a product. The company needs to invest more in their people. This is a sink or swim environment. Although there are busy and slower seasons, the work does not seem to stop at 5:00pm. I experienced night work almost every night just to keep up with the influx of emails. I felt extremely burnt out.

Pros

Company car & benefits compare favorably with other companies of the same size

Cons

Depending on the region, culture is toxic. Reps are afraid for their jobs, territories are constantly being tweaked, and disciplines are routinely vetted in case it becomes more profitable to represent them from the inside sales channel. Decisions take a long time so meanwhile those disciplines in a holding pattern are stuck with little to no marketing or editorial support. Reps are responsible to sell those products nonetheless. Key decisions about company longevity vs. bit by bit sell-off keeps everyone on tenterhooks.

Pros

Phenomenal environment where they will truly groom you to be successful. They without a doubt care about their employees

Cons

With so many variables in the textbook industry, predominantly bookstores and third party outlets, it is difficult to determine if you will hit your sales goal.
