Pros

Good pay for entry level job but below industry standard. Ample vacation and personal time. 401K and benefits! Very talented and smart colleagues. Ability to work from home.

Cons

-Inexperienced managers (no sales experience in sales!) -micro managers -lack of trust and respect for employees from managers -favoritism to tenured employees who lack skills and abilities that are expected for new employees -lack of communication between managers -managers that are not leaders and are only concerned with self agenda or career path -no true promotions (i.e. a position opens, anyone can apply) -ability to work from home but rarely granted on request -major pay differences between team members but everyone shares same responsibilities and more is expected from new team members -tenured people are not properly trained in selling ways and can not provide guidance or direction

Pros

In this day and age, thankful to have a job with decent benefits. Decent medicines to sell and love the freedom the job offers.

Cons

Unfortunately, upper management has given the district managers 100% of the power to rate the representatives. Managers control our ratings, pay raises and potential for bonuses. When you have a tyrannical, control freak manager, the job is unbearable.
