Pros

Potential to make money if you play the game and if you don’t have a life.

Cons

They’ll attempt to sweep your personal life under the rug and ask when you can work next. They’re understaffed with a high turnover rate. They’re squeezing fresh employees with hopes of ignorance. Quick to get you in the door and even faster to over load you with someone else’s work or work that has been pass due in hopes of bumping their annual bonuses by small margins. Mismanagement, low moral during any meetings, poor instruction, belittlement of employees. You’ll likely never have a weekend off as they allow call backs(must be responded to in 24hrs, yes on your day off and are extremely likely) to jobs for moronic reasonings(most occurred example: pest witnessed outside) that are not outlined in proper call back procedures for fear of losing the customer. They charge customers monthly without proper monthly inspections and do not drop clients even while understaffed(I witnessed these while conducting routine services on equipment that had gone uninspected for well over a year).

Pros

401k, espp, not micromanaged by my current boss

Cons

Beginning of 2021 was told we are separating service and sales. Here in 2023 that is slowly being eroded and have constant sales pressure as someone that took a service role as I’m sure numbers are down. On call 24/7 is pretty much a cause of constant turnover and leveling veteran reps being constantly asked to run 2 territories which leads to more burnout. Upper management capped earnings for the field which has led to everybody in the field not really caring or putting for much effort or not my job attitudes. When I was hired I was told this was a career, which I believed when I started. One institutional has turned it into a a job…A terrible one.

Pros

Career development and growth opportunities. First line sales managers understand business and care about developing their teams. Decent benefits, compensation is no longer as competitive. Strong company reputation. Extremely ethical across all divisions and groups.

Cons

No freedom to run your territory. New requirements each month without removing or adjusting existing goals. Your company vehicle used to be a benefit, now your driving is tracked and monitored. If you use the phone will driving you are terminated.
