Pros
Great learning opportunity and different everyday covering your selected geographic territory and fields (pharm, bio, industrial). Very interesting.
Cons
Company cheats you by playing with the commission payout - great month then for some reason no sales last days of the month to lower your payout. Then double down if you don't make your numbers. Freight is a profit center. Lots of turnover in many areas. Pricing is noncompetitive when looking at online competitors. Reducing inventory so having no stock. Too many hoops to jump thru to get anything done with lots of steps in between to take you away from selling. You are doing too many administrative tasks from credit issues, returns, orders, setting up accts, quoting etc. Not a realistic work /life balance.
