Pros

Weekly pay is all i can think of for a pro for this job

Cons

There are soooo many, where should I begin. They only pay .20/mile for miles when the avg is .53/mile. There are 6 day workweeks/46 hr min workweek.you will probably be doing more outside sales than inside sales bc they let the veterans do all the inside sales. Outside sales mean working in the heat and eating out daily. The job itself is not hard, but bc they have messed up so many yards its hard to convenience ppl to try it again. You cold call ppl from a list that is not updated, so you and a coworker may call the same person multiple times a day and they dont honor a cust req to be put on do not call list. Very pushy sales tactics.Oh and the commission is horrible!!!!! Must sale at least $4500+ just to make $500 commission check.

Pros

- Very very easy to move up in the company. If you dedicate a couple years and show skill in sales you can move up to a sales manager position extremely fast. If you are willing to move the opportunity to move up is even significantly easier and faster. - Almost all of management started at the bottom and worked their way up, if possible they always hire from within. - Good money, get out what you put in. - Direct Management is great, local and even regional management is almost even fantastic, but any higher then that becomes out of touch and very frustrating to (albeit indirectly) work with.

Cons

- Inconsistent at times about expectations, at times asking for one thing then immediately needing the other. Can be frustrated to be pulled in so many directions, but not even remotely unmanageable. - Lot's of hours, especially in management. Prime time? (March-End of May) Say goodbye to your personal life! Mandatory 1/2 day Saturdays, definitely a grind but worth it. - Frustrating policies and illogical outlook on what success looks like.
