Pros

I can see where this job has it's perks, their benefits package, the pay really was't to bad.

Cons

Lacked appropriate training, very disorganized, although it does take a long time to get out in the field it lacks direction and emphasis non important materials. Sales management was awful, I felt like I was in kindergarden receiving punishments the majority of the time, ridiculous. They are on your back, monitoring, and critiquing everything. I've never quite a job so quickly, this was a train wreck.

Pros

You will earn some decent money. A lot of times more than others in the same field. You're out in the field for the majority of the day.

Cons

One of the few linen rental companies that isn't union, and your body will pay for it. Long hours, not much support from the main office. You. Do. Everything. Sort, load, unload, I literally worked from morning to night, and did it all over again. Good money, but not worth it for the lack of a life outside of work.

Pros

You will get good experience in business to business sales. There training is self study but taken seriously will help develop a good foundation for a career in sales. It's better than being unemployed

Cons

Lowest pay in the industry. To small of areas to keep the $110 dollar weekly average. Long sales cycles dealing with 60 month contracts. After one year ridiculous sales expectations are put on you and then you will be let go.
