Life work balance, Sales is what have you done for me lately attitude, want to take a vacation think twice because your manager doesn't want to lose the activity.

Pros

Stable and steady, progressive but conservative, organized and consistent. Kind of wish it had worked out after all the departments and people I got to learn from and grow with.

Cons

Pressure cooker. Numbers obsessed. Pay plans at the time were manipulated by 2007 recession and it's fallout. Got tired of having endless propaganda shoved down my throat.

Pros

I literally cannot think of any, I would say autonomy but sales managers will find a way to consistently hound you and breath down your neck, negating the normal autonomy that most sales roles provide.

Cons

Too many to accurately list without writing a novel, so I will leave you with a chapter. Aggressive/Borderline harassing sales management to start. You use (beat the crap out of) your own vehicle on daily cold calls. There are unrealistic sales goals right from the start, and practically zero time to build up a pipeline or rhythm in your sales before management will start making threats. I am not a complainer, have never been fired from a job (including this one...left on my own accord in under a year as is about avg for a Cintas sales rep), but this company is by far the worst company I have ever encountered. Employees (particularly sales) are in some ways encouraged to get business by any means necessary. Customers are consistently lied to, and I have seen products be added to invoices during their "quarterly" sales contests. All in all a very shady company to work for, from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.
