Pros

good products. well known company. promote from within.

Cons

low pay. (cheap) everyone starts from the bottom even if you have 10 years experience. products are 25% more expensive than competition, makes it harder to sell. hence lower income. Base salary is $30000.00 and car allowance is $4000.00 annually. You might need to work 50-60 hours a week to hit sales quotas of $320000.00 annually. Sales quotas was close to $360000.00 annually, got reduced to $320000.00 in 2012 due to majority (60%) of sales reps not reaching their quotas so management was under a lot pressure to reduce it or face many sales reps quitting their jobs.

Pros

- Good training programme for people with no or minimal sales experience. - Wonderful colleagues who are energetic and supportive. - High possibility of internal transfers to explore and fulfil one's potential.

Cons

- Revised remuneration package is very disappointing. - Micromanagement culture - A lot of red tapes, rigid environment resulting in a lot of frustrations. - Minimal work life balance as staffs are expected to stay late as an indicator of being sincere for the job.
