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

Decent base salary. Commission structure could be better. Sales reps are pretty helpful.

Cons

Lack of management involvement makes gaining new business difficult. Training program doesn't help with the product, only with the process. Not a long term job. 1-2 years max. Takes 6-16 weeks to get paid on a sale.

Pros

Great atmosphere to work in, if you work hard you do get rewarded for it. Lots of oppertunities within the company if you desire it.

Cons

It's a corporation, people need to rememeber that, If you can not handle it then do not go to work for one.
