The worst job I've ever had

Pros

The benefits are good. Oh, and I've made some good friends because we feel like we're in the war zone and of course you'll bond with people when everyone is so stressed and overworked. Otherwise, there is nothing. This position is so far from what I was told when interviewing. The training process was very intensive but thorough -- it was also completely unrealistic. They should have just taught us the copy codes, etc. and said, "You will get beaten up by your customers every day. No one likes this product. You'll be lucky to renew 50% of your accounts."

Cons

They are always screwing with the pay plan (cut the base by 40% weeks after my hire date); we are micro-managed to the nth degree; we're constantly being taken out of our territories for stupid meetings that run far too long; the customers and general public don't think much of the company; we are collectors in addition to sales reps or our commissions will be taken back. They talk a lot about integrity but the way to succeed is to be a fast talking swindler who gladly stabs other reps in the back to get the precious new business.

Pros

great benefits. fun to work with customers. fast paced. unlimited income potential for self-motivated people.

Cons

local managers sometimes waste reps time doing things that look good on paper but in reality are demotivating, demoralizing and costly in terms of valuable selling time (i think they forget (or dont care) that we work on commission). when things dont go as well as upper management expects, usually due to local mgrs poorly thought out plan, they do stuff like Call Night (unproductive! i dont need to come into the office to cold call along with 20 other reps from 4:30-5:30 c'mon, its 5pm i'm tired...i've been selling all day, and now I get to sit in rush hour traffic and get home even later and then do my paperwork for the day...can you say monster.com) Or come in at the end of the day to discuss collections with your manager...come in???? cant we call in during our drive time...hello, i'm not 13!!!!!!!!!!!

Pros

You will make friends that you will keep forever, there are a lot of good people there but they never seem to last very long. There is a really high turnover.

Cons

Rejection really sucks and you are really underpaid and always under pressure and stressed out. The car allowance needs to be raised since gas prices and tolls have gone up significantely
