Pros

Somewhat flexible schedule Good training Independent work

Cons

This job is more of a sales rep job with merchandiser pay. There’s pressure to write sizable orders because the Territory Manager’s pay is based on the orders the merchandisers write, and the time allotted in each store is based on the size of the order. Therefore, it’s a breeding ground for unethical practice, serving the internal company (Jacent) more than the external company (the grocery store being serviced). There is also pressure to NOT write/issue credits. There is little to no communication unless it’s negative. Micromanagement is an art form here.
