Pros

As long as you are doing what you're supposed to, you're left alone.

Cons

I dont even know where to start. Everyone is selfish. 1.You got sales reps going out and selling accounts with way more product than is needed, just to make the most money they can, not caring that someone like myself will have to decrease all the inventories and destroy my numbers.2. Customers who are not told what they are signing and the length in which they are signing for, so when they wanna quit, its O, im sorry, you still have three years with us, arent you glad you signed a 60 month agreement for shop towels and a mop. 3. FOR THE LOVE OF PRICE INCREASES, our customers get hit 3-4 times a year, and its not just 50 cents, its 5-10% each time. 4. I am an honest person, who under no circumstance will charge for something you are not getting, but management says, no credits, no credits. They want you to spend your time outside of working running specials to all these accounts. It truly is hard to run an ethical route and keep your customers happy. We are supposed to gain rational and emotional trust with our customers, but I truly believe we are to do this, only so we can increase there prices as much as we can. I sometimes feel sick pulling into my accounts

Pros

Great Base, they pay for all fuel, can use their insurance instead of your own, benefits are good and they begin quickly which is nice, good corporate training. Good place to start a career in sales.

Cons

Work life balance has gone away, monitoring of when you start and end your day and where you are throughout the day is extremely high. Very structured which is more condusive to introductory sales person, which is often not what they are looking for. Very senior management seems to have a good idea how to train and motivate sales teams, that unfortunately is not translated to local sales managers. Nor is that ability looked for in the sales managers chosen, they seem to be promoted on numbers only, neglecting the leadership skills needed for such a micro managed position. The communication between management on plans for employees and company seem to lack a great deal, leading to a large amount of frustration that seems to trickle down. How conversations and timing goes for things such as pay changes is very poor, again frustration.
