Pros

My peers have been fantastic. You are micro-managed to the point where if you do not have good sales habits you will soon or you will be fired.

Cons

Giving out of sales leads is very much based on favoritism. Incredible turnover in sales and sales management means no one is there long enough to truly do a good job in their territory.

Pros

good base and benefits. can make alot of money if you are willing to eat sleep and drink the koolaid.

Cons

loads of paper work and other meaningless work and trianing. more concerned with the process rather than sales. Higher level is way out of touch and make important dececisons just by the nujmbers or reports.

Pros

Great for new sales reps to learn how to sell business to business, good solid work for route drivers, good products, good benefits, good money if at quota

Cons

Toxic culture in many locations now (constant fear for job loss), little leadership across company, almost no diversity in managment, slow to implement anything new, does not value education If you are a sales rep it is more important that you do your job their way than reach goal any other way. It is restrictive for those reps who have talent and do not need to rely on antiquated sales tactics.
