Pros

A great company to work for with plenty of training opportunities. Recognizes and appreciates industry and sales experience. Supports the military by hiring vets while still hiring mostly civilians. Many assets and resources to support field representatives. Base plus commission.

Cons

Expect 50hrs minimum but strong performs work far more hours. Requires completion of 5-8 month technical certification program to start receiving commission and this program is difficult. Study time will require additional hours weekly to successful pass. Higher than average base pay means that they own your time. Heavy in administrative paper work load. This needs to be an industry you are interested in.

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
