Pros

Good pay, flexible work schedule, good people to work with on your sales team There are a few good District Managers in the company...pray you work for one of them! Benefits are pretty amazing...except for the car allowance. Not a bad place to start your sales career...gain sales experience and move on.

Cons

Poor Management...specifically District Managers and Regional Directors Be ready to play the game of Office Politics and don't expect much vacation High turn over rate for BDAs (14 months)
