Pros

Great company, fun atmosphere helps to make work feel less like work. Management team cares and is doing a lot of great stuff to try and make the experience better. You can make good money if work hard. There is a direct correlation between effort and pay. There has been a notable reduction in turnover. Only the non-performers are turning over at this point.

Cons

Working with negative, immature people. The business model is to hire recent grads, but with that comes a lot of baggage. I am glad some of the negative people that seem to post on this site have left as they bring others down. They don't hit their numbers and then want to blame everyone except themselves for their performance. I think Management is putting pressure on them and that is why you're seeing some of them leave and post negative things, because they don't want to work and expect to have everything given to them. It's a great company and if you're interested in working here reach out to someone at the company or come in and meet some of the people, tour the facility and get a balanced perspective. Don't just rely on the passive aggressive comments of a few former non-performers who profess that pay and conditions were so horrible, yet they stayed for 3+ years. Life is too short, if you don't like your situation take responsibility and and change it.

Pros

Reading some of these previous reviews on the company and having been with the organization for 5+ years, I'm shocked to see some of these comments; most more negative than positive. I've seen our Sales Team grow from one market to five and 34 to 150+ reps, which is exciting and a true testament to the company's growth. During this time, I have seen the reps who stay dedicated to the job and sales process do extremely well, while the others that are so focused on what the other rep is doing, or what account the other rep closed, lose steam and fizzle out. As a note, we're selling 3 year contracts, not monthly orders of snacks, so the close does take time. It's not about how is everyone else doing, it's about how you're doing and if you can focus on that, you'll be fine. We have been getting better at having our Sales Team events be focused on Team Building, and while drinking is involved sometimes, it's not as huge a focus as other reviews have stated. In addition, the company revamped it's pay structure and you're getting paid residuals for contracts sold last year, along with a higher salary.

Cons

The biggest con about working at the company is staying away from the rotten apples and letting Management handle them. Our Management Team is provided the resources and tools needed to address, so stay focused on you and you'll do fine.
