Pros
You get the opportunity to experience the world of sales firsthand and really deal with prospecting and cold calling while receiving a decent salary and compensation. You also get shown exactly how the job is done with an experience professional out in the field.
Cons
If you expect to be educated in how sales works and be eased into a work lifestyle that you may not be accustomed to, then this job may not be for you. Although I knew I was getting into outside sales I didn’t anticipate how different a work/life balance I had to adapt to right from the beginning. This is not a 9-5 job as it requires you to be up early and work until the evening, not including driving times from your designated territory. This job requires you to drive almost your whole day alone and the toll on your personal vehicle is very significant.
