Pros

You have the ability to run your territory how you want. Minimal micromanagement and you are out of the office most of the time.

Cons

There is no work/life balance. You get paid very well,but the cost of that is time with your family. 70hrs a week in the summer and 50hrs a week in the winter. You will be told you aren't doing enough even when you exceed your expected growth for the year. There is huge waste on halfbrained new products and then they push you to sell something with almost no market. The Corona virus has shown the worst of this companies management and executives. Before this I almost thought I was a person. Now at least I know they dont care about you, just the profit you make them.

Pros

Good pay, colleagues are great and very helpful

Cons

Provided no training even when coming from a different industry, which is very difficult when dealing with 1,000's of chemicals. Some managers aren't transparent with KPIs or expectations as well as minimal support from them. This is really dependent on the area of the country and what region you have. There are some really great regional managers in other areas of the country, and I unfortunately was not in one of those regions.
