Pros

The pay is great and the experience with the customers is fulfilling. Good rewards if you make it to the top 25% of the sales force copany wide. Nice trips, extra earnings etc.

Cons

Many managers within the company are either incompetent for the job, or just shady people,either way the employees and customers lose. Managers expect you to work open to close all the time and that can be 10-12 hours a day.Training is a joke also!

Pros

It's a job for now.

Cons

1st day on the job. I walked in an learned that one of the other sales people had just left the company, and that I would now be required to work 6 days a week (except Sundays) until further notice. Absolutely no training, I can sell, but with no knowledege of the product prices, proceedures, etc... I was told to work the lot from hour 1. How am I supposed to assist customers with absolutely no knowledge of these things. Also learned from customers who have visited the center before (and yes, this is still day 1) that I was the 5th sales person they have dealt with in the past couple of months. All the other had left the company. HMMM, can we say "recruiting mill"? Within 5 minutes, I was given the keys to the entire lot, and expected to close deals without any traing at all. Later in the week, when I was able to "shadow" the manager, I observed him lying to customers and telling people things totally contradictory to what I was being told?????

Pros

Some how they are predicting a good 2011. When you close a 100 retail locatons in three years. They may have trimmed the fat enough to let some stores have really good years.

Cons

Your job is never secure, they fire retail managers weekly. Shake up the zones regions mangers vps all the time. Nothing is ever the same. Often wonder who si my boss?? Whcih manager? Market is bad right now, Clayton is getter smaller closing plants, and retail stores. If you have your lucky and they know it!!
