      Pros

      Great learning experience for anyone looking to begin a career in sales.

      Cons

      Industry that is not moving forward. Never give a two week notice. I have mine out of respect for the company, and they terminated me on the spot even though I led our region in sales 2 out of the last 3 months. The software is outdated. Upper management does not trust those who do the day to day selling, so access to account information is very limited giving very little selling advantage to its reps. 90% turnover in the last 4 months. Went from 10 reps down to 1 in a matter of months.

      Pros

      The training was great and having an above average base salary was very helpful. In theory the company values and the structure of the company are well-designed.

      Cons

      I found that protected territories were not protected. Since you had to log your appointments and other people could see them. I went on appointments where other sales people had swooped in the day before my appointment to try to steal the business. They were sales people from my own company. I even had a boss to come in and take accounts that I have been working that were about to close for himself. The sales team management tolerated theft from the company and didn't support the guidelines they put in place therefore the turnover was constant.

      Pros

      Training process is a good one.

      Cons

      Management doesn't know how to manage people, They all manage activity, hoping they can create successful clones if they all duplicate successful activity.
