      Excellent Company/No Balance in Work & Life

      Territory sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The name pretty much speaks for itself... Benefits start on day 1. Excellent Medical/Dental/Vision packages!!! Company vehicle that was very safe & easy to handle on the road, Gas Card, Laptop, Cell phone. You meet a lot of great people in your territory and the territory wasn't too large to handle.

      Cons

      There is absolutely no balance between work & life. There was no office so if there was an HR issue, good luck on getting the right person on the phone. Not all Territory Sales Managers had the greatest of personalities.... my manager was overall friendly, but when he was upset, had very little professionalism. He had his picks & chooses on who his favorite reps where. They tell you that they don't have time to mico-manage you, but they do: Your vehicle has a tracking device & they monitor what time you leave your house & pull up in your driveway EVERYDAY!! Computer work is very time consuming & you will spend tons of time doing it at home.
