Pros

Great sales training both at start and ongoing. Very Structured which is good at the beginning as it gets you moving in the right direction. Comp plan can be very good depending on what your standard is and how hard you are going to work for it. With it being a very large company there are many different ways that you can be promoted. Culture is good and have great people that work there at all levels.

Cons

Depending on the leadership in place it can be very micromanaging environment. For those who are more tenured this may not be an ideal environment for you. You are expected to grind grind and grind on acitivty (which is sales) and on top of that have meetings to fit it which makes work life balance tricky with 5am service meetings that are mandatory or 5pm back to the office calls on fridays. The route rides are pointless at most times and take people out of the field and their homes for insane hours. You can move within the organization but you have to have a Presidents club behind you in order to be considered "qualified" to be promoted which clearly kicks out people who may actually be great future leaders. This is especially demotivating for those who surpass that number but missed certain measures that technically disqualify them. Pay is good, good base salary but every year they are consistently changing the comp plans with majority of the time its to cut the comp down and make less. There is an atmosphere of "they dont want us to make too much money" that whispers around the sales teams when all the selling rules are changed. Comp plan roll outs need to be done and communicated better.

Pros

I have none it is the worse place to work

Cons

Managers and supervisors treat you like your just a nobody! It's like being in a preschool not allowed to talk or use bathroom when you need too. No promotions within the company they will not promote even if you been with company for decades . Really bad wage increases if your lucky you get 5 cents a year. Very short breaks so short that supervisors with a buzzer just like preschool when recess is over! They hate training people especially if your NEW...so good luck. Also don't be smart and don't have a voice or you will get fired. It's a company secret when they fire you it will be a unexpected surprise with false info to corporate. Beware everything in this company is a secret!!!!! Don't talk or you will get mistreated
