Pros

Competitive pay, bonus structure, car allowance, phone, great products. Very comprehensive training, not just in sales, but with every department. Approachable upper management.

Cons

Multiple conference calls every week that accomplish nothing, and take hours out of your day that could be used more constructively. The CEO reads too many self-help books, and makes everyone else read them too as part of your job requirements. He buys into any new sales management fad. When we have company meetings, they serve the company food that everyone is already sick of. How many puff pastries can a person eat? There is no coverage for outer markets, so if you take any time off, you still have to answer/return phone calls/emails from vacation.

Pros

There are always samples to taste and you are part of a bigger team. The food may not be original but it is interesting to learn about how many food service establishments use frozen products.

Cons

They talk the talk but don't walk it the same way. There is supposed to be a committee that works together on hiring people but regardless of what people say the owner will still decide. That is fine if he is not asking for others input but when he does and everyone has basically the same insight it's hard to be a part of the env't.
