Pros

Excellent base salary with commission based on sales. No risk (don't have to purchase truck or tools). Training was excellent. The tool pricing for employees is 50% off. Tools really are the best on the market. Reasonable benefits. Paid holidays and time off. You receive a company phone and all supplies that you will need. Corporate expense card for any reasonable needs for the business (will require receipts uploaded via phone app or website).

Cons

THE HOURS. You are expected to work 12-14 hours per day, 5 days per week. This is unreasonable. At first when I started doing research on the position, I thought "well maybe these guys are exaggerating." Definitely not. Also you will receive approx 10 different logins for use with different accounts ( ie. email, ups, computer, benefits, deposits, just to name a few). Know your route. You might get placed in area where Snap-on has not been for some time and the customers are reluctant to purchase at first and will have many broken tools. Also you are required to collect previous drivers account debt (some being very high amounts where customer cannot afford to purchase more tools). The amount of paperwork you will do a week is very high. You are expected to print and save numerous reports that document every transaction that is completed. This is probably normal for any manager position, but still seems outdated and inefficient, especially with current cloud services available online.
