Business Outlook
Pros
Staples is the top company in the market place. When you call a prospect they know your name and are likely to give you an appointment and likely to do business with you. There is some potential to make decent money and move up to management. Benefits were great. Staples is a fortune 500. Looks good on resume
Cons
Very high pressure. High turnover rate. Saturated market. It's rare that someone lasts more than two years as a BDA (that's because of burnout, not promotion). Some managers define the term micro-manager.
