Pros

can make a very good amount of money gives you a chance to make a lot of good connections in your area

Cons

10.5+ hour days too many layers of management they give you no ramp up time there is a very lacking training program that doesnt give you a chance to learn before you start building your business the senior management has NO clue what goes on daily the mark ups are high and prevent people from working with you the mark ups for the different divisions are anywhere from 70% -150% there is no need to have a 70% mark up on someone who is going to answer phones and file paperwork! high turnover selling managers = competing against your boss

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
