Pros

Good sales training if you get hooked up with the right Sales Manager. They will make you a one stop closing machine if you listen to them.

Cons

6 day work weeks pretty much year round. You have to "win" a three day holiday weekend. They strap you to a GPS radio that they can see your every move and will talk to you about it EVERY night you come back to the office to the point they even have the nerve to check your fingernails to see if they are dirty or not!!!. 11am-10pm work days Saturdays 9-possibly 6pm. You will be required to knock in "no-soliciting" neighborhoods. You WILL get rousted by police at least 2-3 times a month for knocking on doors. Commission against Draw Comp plan. If you go negative in commission you still get your meager draw but that negative commission follows you all year long unless you can make it up by some miracle. Only 2 people out of 12 actually can hit or zero out their commission. RSM are all about the numbers and could give a crap about customer service. Divisional Sales Managers hate the RSM's and make fun of them and the GM's constantly.

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.
