Pros

Great training for any sales position in the future. If you can mke it 6 months you will be contacted by recruiters...they say if yhou can make it here, you can make it anywhere.

Cons

They want you to be there 7am to 8pm. You have the same exact sales meeting every day going through objections and how to quaify like a game in front of everyone that works in the office. A lot of testosterone and extreme unprofessionalism. Get ready to see 60 businesses in a day (totally unrealistic. You know your reps will be spending more time trying to cheat to get to that number than actually working on qualifying the right prospectc)and beat down your territory to a pulp. Your potential customers will hate you and many threatened to call the police on me the first week I started due to previous reps being too aggressive with the customers.your opinion does not count for anything! The company does not care what you have to say about using you as a tester rat for new untrained managers who are 12 years old telling you what to do all day and calling you 5 times a day and asking where you are at with appointments...every day...you wil be hounded. God forbid you call in sick - they will guilt you into coming into the office by stating where you are at with your number to quota or where the team is. DO NOT WORK HERE if you do not like micro management, extreme stress, bs corporate lies to your face about "innovative products" that are two years old.

Pros

It wouldn't allow me to put my actual last year (2012) but during my 2 year employment, I made great money. I made president's club both years and regular saw 7K checks with some topping 10K. I used to win nice watches, luxury sunglasses, skydiving trips, box seats at Lakers games, box seating at really cool concerts, etc.

Cons

LONG hours...I would arrive at 7am for the morning meeting. we would then have team meeting at 8am and we would hit the road at 9am. We wouldn't get back until 5:30-6:00pm BUT nobody complained because we were paid for it. Nobody cared what gas prices were because we were more than compensated (I forgot to mention Dom, the big boss, would but gas cards and hand those out just because you had a nice suit on. Dude was such a good leader....eveyone wanted to do good for Dom. Why? I/ couldn't explain it...ther than he knew how to lead and that involves getting people to buy into your plan. We did. And Dom had that division leading the company each and every month. Two of the best years of my career and it happened in the very beginning. I will always miss my time here. what a con. lol. it was a great job
