Easy job, not what I expected though - Field Sales and Marketing Representative Techtronic Industries Employee Review

- own your own business - fun work environment - work hard and get promoted

- wish i saw my team more

Strong benefits, a fair amount of autonomy in day-to-day work, and valuable experience building vendor and retailer relationships. The in-person training in Milwaukee was exceptionally well done — very hands-on and easily one of the best corporate training experiences I’ve attended.

The role involves a significant amount of physical labor moving inventory and merchandising product. At times, reps can feel undervalued when customers treat them more like a retail store employee than a field representative. Upward mobility can also be limited unless you are willing to relocate or happen to work in a particularly high-performing territory. The promotion process can feel inconsistent — at times resembling a mélange of timing, connections, and circumstance more than pure work ethic or sales performance. There are many people competing at the bottom of the pyramid, but comparatively few opportunities at the top.
