Pros

Good benefits. Those that make it to 7-8+ years seem happy, knowledgeable and make decent money.

Cons

Very "Lord of the Flies" the first few years. Your life literally revolves around work 24/7 and you are subject to the whims of often incompetent restaurant owners who take out their lack of business skills on you. Almost ZERO customer loyalty in most cases. Many talented sales reps leave because of frustration with the sales/customer dynamic in this field.

Pros

Fast Paced... Every Changing, Constant battles or problems to solve...Fun if you like food and the people who "do' food...

Cons

Favortisim stands out here... Who you know...not what you know... Pushy DSM's thinking that problems don't exist like they really do... WE BE HIGHER in price...but we are supposed to be better consultants then the rest of the pack... This is a true statement, lots of on going education, but the ECON has changed the minds of many operators to follow the mind set of saving money vs creating a more profitable business... We make money off commissions...Commissions come from building value... Competition is killing the pricing market to say the least... Industry is changing and our customers need to react to the change...

Pros

Merchandise discounts available to employees.

Cons

Long hours, always on call, no respect from management, and always waiting for the "ax" to fall.
