Pros
I was promoted through the ranks after starting as an inventory manager. Within a year I was an area manager and in another year a district manager. The work was almost 100 percent travel and it was tough to find a work/live balance. I did enjoy the people and the work was fast pace and interesting. I would certainly recommend the job to someone who does not have a family or is married. Nice people and room for advancement were the two best things.
Cons
I was required to travel almost every Monday through Friday. My territory included three states so it was always somewhere pretty far away from home. The budget for hotels is not very high either so you stay in alot of cheap motels. Travel, odd hours, pay is not the best for all the work you are asked to do.
