Pros
Can make as much as you want if you put in the hours. Great people to work with on the floor If you were starting a business this company's business plan would be perfect because it's the reps that take any lose and not the company.
Cons
Where to begin. First lack of inventory is a joke especially from a company that takes spiff money from the rep if they don't hit a certain number of new acts. How about using that money you take to load up on inventory for your sales reps? There is no moving up in this company and even when you do, you are still simply a sales rep with more responsibility. Went from being a team atmosphere to more of an individual/cut throat atmosphere. Charge stupid $35 set up fees to customers and then the company takes half of the 'set up' fee as if they did anything to deserve it. Oh and your personal cell number is the one that's blown up once the customer sees this on their receipt. Shady sales reps are rewarded but never answer their phones when customer calls so other reps are stuck dealing with the lies they've been told. Pay structure is almost impossible to understand, deacts are impossible to track, company charges reps for all missing items. Promotes false growth of the company. Opens up other stores while their old stores are ignored. Insurance and dental coverage is one of the worst packages I've seen. Reps are paying $500 plus for a family plan. Reps who have been there 10+ years are still just sales reps. That should say something about their professional growth potential. Good enough to hit quota every month but not good enough to move up in the company. No PTO so taking any kind of lengthy vacation is pointless because they still expect you to hit their non changing monthly quota. If you don't, they will take up to 80% of your spiff money. 'Ghost lines' are added to people's accounts and applauded by management as long as you don't get caught. Tons of people are leaving this company because they've gotten away from what truly matters, their sales reps and the customer. It's all about putting money is Dane and the regional managers pocket while taking away from the sales reps.
