Business Outlook

Pros

As a territory manager you have a lot of freedom to create your own work week. You have high goals to meet each month but you set the pace. They provide a company vehicle, company credit card and cell phone. Lots of opportunity for vertical growth

Cons

Make you sign a non-compete. Micro-management using Salesforce is excessive. Constantly changing focus on what they want you to sell. Too much work - not enough money because they keep shrinking your territory

Business Outlook

Pros

There really is a lot of potential to make a lot of money. How much you want to make depends on how much work you put in, and what you willing to do to earn business, win the deal, get that 'yes' from the customer.

Cons

At my location there was absolutely no teamwork or feeling of camaraderie. Everyone was out to work or protect themselves and as a result the job was many times harder than it should have been. There was also an overwhelming amount of sexism going on at my location. Rarely that I feel respected at my workplace, and because of that I only lasted 15 months
