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

Pros

I was recruited by United Rentals at my university's career fair to work in their corporate office in Charlotte, NC. My position was a sales associate in an OSR (outside sales representative) training program. I made roughly 60-80 phone calls to dormant accounts all over the US, east coast to west coast, as well as Canada. Great experience making cold calls, working with sales force software, and building a pipeline to manage my customers. I rented equipment, sold training, and passed leads for used equipment sales.

Cons

I was told that the program was 6 months and then I will be able to interview and be promoted as an OSR. I know many people in the program that were there for a year, the average time in the program was 8-11 months.
