Pros

Decent money and benefits. Excellent initial technical training from corporate. Ability to set work schedule (within reason). Pretty good selection of products to sell. More account management than sales.

Cons

Poor communication from local management - new employees are not informed about anything, including company policies/vacation/pay. Field training is extremely disorganized, which leads to dissatisfaction amongst new TMs. Unethical practices in the field, ranging from ordering unnecessary parts to breaking dish machines. You will become a repairman instead of a salesman. No matter what they tell you, sales is secondary with this company. Management has no regard for your life outside of work. Good luck ever making plans with your family for holidays. Your children will grow up without you.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
