Pros
Company has great benefits and trains you well. It's hard once you start selling for them to get rid of you due to the fact that there's a million box companies out there and you can usually move business over rapidly.
Cons
Where to begin. There are no "territory" borders so someone 5 hours away can come to your home town and claim acocounts. Monthly meetings that take the whole day so it's a lost work day. Monthly cadence calls which like the sales meetings turn into your sales managers and business unit sales manager putting you on the spot in front of everyone. The sales force is extremely dates and many of them have been doing this job for 20+ years. Most of them had much of there business handed to them and have built on there large books of business. Now a days that's not the case in most territories it's start from scratch and if your new to the industry you will struggle unless you have a good sales manager who understands the industry. It takes upwards of 6-9 months of constant calling and meetings to get people to move suppliers and many times longer. The clock starts once you start training and if you don't have over a million dollars of business sold in a year they will fire you. Which seems ridiculous considering to move a decent account over to WestRock can take a year to do. I had people from Chicago a 8 hour drive away calling accounts down the street from my house that I was working on. They confused the decision makers and screwed up at least 3-4 500k-2.5 million dollar accounts for me and they saw nothing wrong with that because the guy doing the calling knew somewhere there at one point.
