Pros

Never a dull week. Loved working with customers and helping grow our market. As long as you did your job properly, you were left alone to manage the business. Quality product. Most of the upper management was accessible and easy to get along with and talk to.

Cons

2-2.5 hour radius we were required to cover and service. Incredibly difficult to meet corporate expectations. If an issue happened on the top of the territory, you prayed any others didn't fall below branch. Could spend all day on the road virtually doing very little. Upper management didn't care if issues happened 10 hours into the day and you were hours away from location with other work obligations already on your plate.They wanted it done and every other thing you were doing to prevent more from happening. Prepared for 12 hours everyday and saw many turn into 14+. Identity became the job in the end. 60-80 hrs was a normal week. High driver turnover. Constantly training.
