Pros

Lots of freedom, company truck, get paid for the work, you get out of it what you put in.

Cons

Management from above & will never see them lead by example. No HR presence at all, so superiors get away with whatever they want and use scare tactics. Have slesforce.com but they have no clue how to use it properly in such a fast pace environment. Don't expect a happy work environment. Were so far behind the curve in technology they bought out their largest competitor because they had no clue how to catch up.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
