Pros

The only one left that has a workforce in place to deliver on customer promises.

Cons

Over promises on customer delivery, no checks and balances on work hours/territory. Some territories will be white-knuckled, can-they-finish monthly visits, etc. month after month, with overnight travel--while some territories will never travel, and look for things to do 1 week of every month. Both territories are the same pay scale. Corporate account managers are absolutely CLUELESS about sales. They are by and large YES men (no women), only there to say "whatever you want," with no consideration for company cost in time and/or field personnel. They have no advancement to other positions procedure in place. You might well be suited to a better position, but that would require your immediate supervisor to have to fill your position. So the position you sign up for, be prepared for it to be a for-life position.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
