Pros
Looking forward to 5PM everyday, no more blitzes,one-on-ones, or useless micromanagement meetings. Didn't have to waste 2 weeks of my life attending "Sales 101 for dummies".
Cons
Micromanagement, Micromanagement, and more micromanagement. WAY too many meetings, favoritism, and office paperwork. Management says one thing and does another. One week they are your friend, the next they stab you in the back. Turnover is TERRIBLE. CRM "Sales Force" is useless because the turnover is so bad, it never gets updated enough to be useful. You spend horus and hours in meetings day in and day out, but at the same time they want you in the field in front of customers? Dont see how that makes any sense. Very contradictory. This is not inside sales, its "how to have a meeting" sales. Expect you to purchase useless sales books, and then you dont get reimbursed for it. Company car allowance and base pay is a joke. Most cases you are expected to sell a brand new machine, and the commission for all that paperwork and multiple customer visits is around $130 (before taxes).
