Pros

Great earnings potential. Gorgeous materials, our own factory. Easy product to sell. Good team vibe at the showroom level. Great manager and co-sales people. I like my job because of my coworkers.

Cons

Big disconnect between HQ and both the consumer and the sales people. HQ does NOT listen, though they position themselves as they do - frustration abounds in this org but it is not recognized. You earn every cent of your commission. You are required to do way more admin work than any other sales position on the planet. If you are earning well, you most likely will get burnt out. Cannot make a decision without getting another dept. involved. They are all slow to respond if they respond at all. I am constantly hunting down info that takes so much back-and-forth e-mail and time, valuable time. Kohler support is great, but Ann Sacks is a small company with the red-tape of a huge org.

Pros

If you are okay supporting a business that is focused on building wealth instead of developing skills and business understanding of objectives, then you will fit right in as long as you learn two important phrases "Great idea boss" and "Yes sir, I will carry out all of your plans so you will be recognized by upper management". DON'T ROCK THE BOAT!

Cons

I have already posted a con, but noticed another con that other posts point to. I read about disappointment of no remote work anymore. Remote work is difficult; you have a hard time building collaboration, teamwork and trust in a remote situation. But as I look at myself, I am on-site and love coming to work - would rather be around my team and have a constant pulse on the culture where I can address any issues immediately. Ask yourself, other than the loss of commute time and being in the comfort of your own home - why do people prefer to work from home. Many times, it can be due to avoiding the stress and anxiety that exists at work. Now ask yourself, what would make people want to be in the office versus at home. Whether you are remote or in person, not wanting to come into the office may be a sign that you are not happy and lacking fulfillment from your current circumstances.
