Pros

Good pay, benefits. Used to allow a degree of flexibility but even that's changing. Off week of x-mas-new year.

Cons

fear based management, micromanagement. Focus on aspects of business that don't produce results. They talk about "run your territory like it was your business" but don't give the latitude to do the right thing by customers.
