Same employer contribution since 1998 when the company was half the size in annual sales. This after their contribution was eliminated for 4 years in 2008.

Pros

The pay is good for the job that they expect you to do and the hours are fine but that's about it.

Cons

Mangement is horrible never got trained, was lied to about the hours I was suppose to work 10hr days but that turned into 14hr days they give you no job title so you have to do everything they say.

Pros

The company/environment is fine. Higher up people are fine. The ability to talk freely to management is there. No complaints from me about having to deal with too much interoffice BS.

Cons

As a sales rep, the training program does not touch at all on actual sales scenarios or strategies to get business. The attitude is that you will spend time working in the office, pick up some very basic product knowledge along the way, learn the basics of how things are done internally, learn the SAP system, and then when something opens up you get your shot. The stuff you learn in the office is very little help when you get out and try to open accounts. Upper management has this idea that somehow customers will pay more or be compelled to work with a Don rep over the 4 other competing guys simply because of the big name and "the best trained sales force in the industry". Sorry but as a new guy you simply won't be able to outclass the veteran competition and leaves you in a tough spot trying to win business. Also, the business model for a salesperson does not scale= you will have to work longer hours to do more work AKA you have to work that much more and not necessarily earn that much more.
