Pros

This is a tough job, so the managers are all quality salespeople capable of passing on that knowledge. If you listen to them and work hard you can make good money. Despite what some reviews say, there is room for progression, but you have to fight for it. Nothing is handed out for free - which I see as a pro. There are some good, fun people working here. Team nights out are enjoyable and there is a decent atmosphere amongst employees.

Cons

Management will lie to get you to do what they want. This comes from the top down. Some of the decisions are often personal, if you are liked and part of the 'in' crowd you are much more likely to succeed. If not, you will be shown the door. KPIs and targets are unrealistic - this doesn't mean nobody hits them, but it takes 6 months (minimum) to learn the job and even then it isn't a given that you will sell. Only 1 in 10 sales people actually hits their yearly targets. The products are poor. They do not have Product Managers so feedback falls on death ears. Since this won't change you will always be selling second rate products so sometimes there is really nothing you can do to make the sale. The brand is poor and prospects are wise to this.
