Pros

I liked the job...but, I was in International assigned to Bangkok Thailand covering 8 SE Asian countries. I had a ball. Later, some good managers were passed over due to politics and the "blame game" perpetuated by a few, but I had bailed by then.. However, as long as one did not work in Glendora continuously, it was nice. I didn't care for the economy class air travel, but that was really minor. The annual sales meeting was a pain as was the Irrigation Show. 99% of the time I was happy with the job and RBI was not a penny pinching firm when considering travel expenses.

Cons

Sales targets were not likely to be met anytime & the biggest downside was little or no control over prices in the field. Israelis were very aggressive about keeping business and would not stop at a little thing like ethics, so it was difficult to make the sales.

Pros

Lots of freedom and independence, not much micro management, can come up with cool ideas.

Cons

Hard to advance, people stay in their spots for a long time, remote employees excluded from advancement in general. Benefits are bad, health care terrible. 401k match is weak
