Pros

*Met some good people *have some good products *sales process training

Cons

*very,very low base pay *seemingly endless workload *strick and inflexible management style from DM to RM level *middle management are a bunch of yes men, only out for themselves and not the teams they are supposed to train and lead * target D policy, Not legal in Canada *too many targets to focus on to move up in pay grade or to a different position *pay grade movement is subject to numerous meetings which seem to go in circles, again starting at middle management *Need to be in the "boys club" to have a shot at a moving up the latter *bonus structure designed to be just out of reach. The dangling carrot effect.

Pros

You are your own boss and run your own territory as you see fit. Great products and highly regarded name in the industry.

Cons

Upper-level management is instituting more and more KPIs. This would be fine if Salesforce was more automated for the company, but there is a heavy manual component to input all of your conversations, opportunities, and leads. As an Account Manager you are expected to wear too many hats and it takes a long time to get ramped up to be effective in the job. You are expected to be a subject matter expert on many different product lines, handle logistics, credit issues, stock shortages, and be able to communicate effectively on jobsites all the way up to the C-suite level.
