Pros

Industry is interesting and you will meet great clients.

Cons

Pay works out as less than minimum wage for the hours worked. You will stay away from home frequently and expenses do not cover the full amount you will spend. Have a quick search and see what hotel you can find for £80 and see if you think you can stay in these hotels multiple times a week and then decide if this job is for you... Management are absolutely awful people who think it is ok to make people feel like they are worthless. They discriminate against staff and are unprofessional. There are no progression opportunities despite what management will tell you. You will be told that the business only promotes from within but this is a not true, and you will see hardworking people not be rewarded for their commitment to the business. Clients do not have good things to say about VetPlus as a business and their reputation is well and truly tarnished - you will be putting out fires left right and centre that you did not start. The same clients will complain about the turnover of reps and you will begin to understand why they leave after being there a month or two! Benefits of the job are nil. No sick pay and pension is abysmal. You will be told to be grateful for the salary you receive despite it being only slightly above minimum wage, and this is if you don’t consider the overtime. This is one of the only sales roles known to man where you won't be paid commission for around 9 months. I would seriously avoid this job at all costs. The job itself is fairly straightforward but unqualified management and unattainable targets make it extremely difficult to find the willpower to go on with your day.

Pros

It is an interesting industry to be part of, but it's just not worth it to work here. Find another veterinary nutraceutical company.

Cons

This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. Don't be fooled by your initial impression. The CEO is abusive to employees and it trickles down to management and staff. They don't care about employees or clients--only money and following their processes to the letter. The pay is horrible unless you are in sales. In fact, the salespeople are the only ones who get even a little hint of respect (as long as they are successful). Those in admin roles are treated like slaves and talked down to like idiots. The CEO is a cruel, sexist megalomaniac. If you speak up about the abuse from the CEO or management, you WILL be fired. Avoid this place like the plague! That is, unless you want to sell your soul and become part of the problem.

Pros

Pay is what they sell to get you in

Cons

Everything else. Narcissism is the owners daily disposition. Toxic leadership and horrible company culture
