Pros
Looks good on a resume.
Cons
As a manager, I get paid less than my reps under me. On average I work AT LEAST 13 hours a day (I call that finishing early). They are too cheap to invest in a recruiting team, so managers are left to do ALL of it (FOR THE ENTIRE NATION). The "divisional recruiters" ask how they "can help and support us" while we do all of the work. I see one rep about every 3 months and have absolutely no time to focus or help develop them. Honestly, they wonder why the rep turn over is so high (but won't actually give us the number) but maybe it's because managers should just be labeled "recruiters." Oh and for the workload, you are underpaid, over worked, have terrible PTO, oh and there's no incentives, no commission, BARELY a bonus, and no personal life!!! Do what ya want!
