Pros

Cons
IT support in main office is inefficient/insufficient Budgets only exist at territory/national level --The budget con is the most debilitating to employees in the field. Leads to lack of empowerment in making decisions and getting things done Commission plans are a joke and unethically issued --Company will set forth market-level sales goals w/o providing commission plans associated... Will give quarter-based commission plans to employees a month and a half into the quarter, hence the ethical concern. Where management is incompetent, no one knows --Simply put: when working remotely/from home, it is very easy to suck at your job and make sure no one knows about it... And if you tell someone, you're throwing your boss under the bus
