"Profile Based" Company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy work, profit sharing bonus, no weekend hours.

Cons

Low base pay, very difficult to move up in the company. Promotions rely heavily on whether or not your profile fits the job and not based on your ability to complete the associated job tasks.

It's a job, but I dont see it becoming a career

Inside sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The job work for an Inside Sales Rep is fairly easy. Sometimes the work can be monotonous, but you know what to expect each day. Profit sharing is a great benefit from this company and the bonuses are usaully something to look forward to if the PC is doing well financially. Benefits are average; however, they do offer 401K match. My coworkers are really nice for the most part. The job is only Monday - Friday only excluding inventory.

Cons

The base pay is very low in comparison to the Inside Sales Rep average; the company relies heavily on profit sharing/ However, that occurs once a year and I typically struggle to pay bills the rest of the year. The office environment is usually boring as well. Promotions within the company are very few and if one takes place, a raise is typically inexistence.
