      Pros

      the benefits, pay structure, and people were very good. having the weekends off also a plus. room for advancement was always a possibility.

      Cons

      little or no quality of life. hours were getting bad. the expectations over the past few years were getting to be out of reach. consistent price increases and reduction of quality products, led our customer base to always look to our competitor as we tried to renew contracts. the turnover was getting ridiculous lack of support from associate management left most subordinates unhappy and willing to change jobs quickly.

      DO NOT READ… unless you want to know the truth about selling for this company.

      Pros

      The only thing this role did for me personally was build my resume with direct B2B Sales experience so I could get into a Sales role at a much better company. The sales training did help me as well since I was new to the industry.

      Cons

      - Horrendous culture - Extremely high rate of AE turnover (I was 9th AE to quit in the 7 months I had been with Aramark. This alone should raise red flags.) - The micromanagement was unlike anything i’ve ever experienced. This all depends on the type of Sales Manager you end up with however. - Unrealistic management expectations for new hires (because turnover was so high, the expectation on new hires was ridiculous because we had to make up for everyone quitting. I say this even though I personally had success and was selling above quota for new hires) - Holiday weeks are the worst. You are expected to go out and triple your workload the rest of the week to make up for the holiday off. It’s a joke. - The Uniform and Facility service industry is completely saturated and contractual. - You don’t get paid commission for 6 weeks after your deal installs. (Waited over 5 months for 1 deal to install, and didn’t get paid until 6 weeks after that.) The list goes on, but for brevity I will leave it at that.
