Pros

They gave me this job during hard economic times....that's good. They made the position seem so promising, we have people come in to give massages, 401k w/company match, tuition reimbursement...they made it seem very promising.

Cons

If you need tuition reimbursement, good luck. You wait 6 months before you qualify. Your sup will refer you to HR who will give you a web site that will refer you back to your sup. 2 years later, I still haven't figured it out...but now dont plan on being here long enough to require it. I started with one department and now take on responsiblities for 8 different departments...but no promotion or pay increase. You will advance alright...but its only worth the paper you write it down on. Time off. You get a lot of it to start, but if they decide the company 'wont make it without you' that day then you wont be approved for the time off. You can take a sick day, but be careful...you only get so many of course. Now instead of just the background check and drug test you take when you start, they also want a credit check. Good thing they didnt need a credit check when I started. How do you build credit without a job? But here's the funny part...for whatever reason, they dont do the credit check until your in training for a couple weeks...then they walk you out the door. I'm sure there is plenty of advancement opportunities, with the turn over rate being so high...someone has to fill in. But if they can get you to do something at $11 an hour that you neighbor does for $22 an hour ... they consider it a win. My 5 year plan includes quitting this job within the next 6 months.

Pros

Large territory (could be a lot of rural)

Cons

Vehicle reimbursement is a joke, base pay minimum, comp structure subject to change EVERY 6 MONTHS, comp structure is TERRIBLE, incentives are a joke and unattainable. Paid about 1/3 of gas $$ back, 15 days after the month end. Also, any expenses are on your own. Submit an expense report and you may or may not get paid back, depending on how much you paid for dinner. Carpooling for travel to meetings mandatory or you don't get reimbursed. Constantly degraded and told how terrible your performance is, no matter what the circumstances. NO WORK/LIFE BALANCE.

Pros

Good place to gain some school of hard knocks experience. Some great poeple within the company. you learn to do a lot with very little.

Cons

The company treats their clients and their staff very poorly. Senior management does not listen to, or have any interest in the mid level management. This compnay has forgotten that the clients are the number one focus and the sales people that work with them need to be supported.
