Pros

They provide you with a company car, computer and tools. They do provide fairly decent training for their products. Hands on training for 3 months before being put into a territory on your own. Pretty decent support system, the experienced guys will help out if you need it, and you can always call the hotline for assistance.

Cons

You are always on-call, and in Vegas, that is 24/7, as many properties do not close. You are expected to crawl around in disgusting kitchens, wearing slacks and a button up (with a TIE), installing dishmachines and equipment. They don't provide nearly enough safety equipment. They don't care about actually saving customers money, in fact, if you do that (by lowering chemical dilution rates), they will get on you because you are bringing in less revenue. They have very unethical practices, and favor those with seniority, regardless of how terrible of employees they are. They lack leadership, they promote based off of your sales and how much you drink the Kool-Aid, and not based on actual leadership ability. They claim you have a flexible schedule, but you really don't. Pay is abysmal, and in order to make decent money, you would need to work 14 hours a day... unless you are handed a pristine territory that is worth a few million dollars (not going to happen). Promotions have no rhyme or reason, they just promote people based off their good ol boy system.... Usually a Territory Manager moving to District Manager someday, or a Street Sales Rep... but some people in the good ol boy system will skip 2 or 3 levels and end up in a much more lucrative position without "putting in the work"... making it yet again, inconsistent. Antiquated technology for prospecting, and refuse to listen to better ideas.

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
