Pros

Excellent benefits, company vehicle, safety culture. You get to work and grow an existing book of business.

Cons

They measure everything and set unrealistic expectations. Workload is overwhelming and they demand more. No work/life balance if you want to be successful. In the end it's all about the profits and shareholders. Too many acquisitions inheriting reps that are not up to par and they keep cutting territories. Plug & play mentality, if a rep leaves they just replace him/her and stat the process again. Customers are used to having a new rep every month.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
