Business Outlook
Pros
I was recruited by United Rentals at my university's career fair to work in their corporate office in Charlotte, NC. My position was a sales associate in an OSR (outside sales representative) training program. I made roughly 60-80 phone calls to dormant accounts all over the US, east coast to west coast, as well as Canada. Great experience making cold calls, working with sales force software, and building a pipeline to manage my customers. I rented equipment, sold training, and passed leads for used equipment sales.
Cons
I was told that the program was 6 months and then I will be able to interview and be promoted as an OSR. I know many people in the program that were there for a year, the average time in the program was 8-11 months.
