Demanding and Rewarding

Pros

Pay is fair, and in a good office, you find a good mix of culture, cooperation, and opportunity. I've never been turned down for a vacation, and I find motivation to work hard and get things done

Cons

If you don't like driving, don't take an outside sales job. Some territories are more demanding than others, but it comes to geography more than anything.

Good not great

Pros

Good pay, excellent training and initial investment, great products. If you're offered this job right out of college, take it and bust it for 2 years. Then reevaluate.

Cons

So much of your success depends on your assigned territory and product line. Highly structured and analytics-based so they have effective strategies but it can feel like you're hitting metrics for the sake of hitting them. Not interested in retaining the majority of their people past year 3, so the promotion structure is designed to phase people out by then. Conferences take place on weekends twice a year because it doesn't cost a sales day.
