Pros

Nice people for the most part. A general level of autonomy. Probably good pay if you are experienced and know what you are doing.

Cons

A few disclaimers in the effort to be transparent. I was terminated from this role and I did not work at headquarters. I was brought on with the promise of being trained. I was promised if I worked hard and was money motivated it'd be a good fit. I had no sales experience so this was vital. I left a solid job to take a leap. I was honestly left to my vices. I was plain ignorant of what I was selling and how to sell it. Most of my development was pawned off on my peers, who also have sales to make. I was led to believe my boss had a system outside of making 100 calls a day and figure it out. I made those call and they led me to very little. The office was tumultuous as up and down the street reps were actively no cooperating they way you should. My colleagues were my competition along with the other companies in this competitive business. I was formally trained the week I was put on my one-month improvement plan. An outside business was brought in to help us learn how to do our jobs (8months in for me) and the only reason I was in the training was because I learned about it and asked. A month later I was gone after finally learning what I was selling and how to approach it. I saw my boss under 5 times at my location in 9 months, it appeared he was more focused on the guys at headquarters making tons of money, rather than helping everyone get to that level. Also was not given my book of business (or call list) until I was already in my improvement plan, so I was just calling randomly, trying to figure things out. I don't think my boss was a bad guy. I think he was just too busy. Which is inexcusable in my book because we are dealing with people's livelihoods.

None that I can think of.
