Pros

strong salary and commission/bonuses. Presidents club features great trip every year for top performers (all expenses + guest expenses)

Cons

management is getting weaker and do not look out for sales force. Competition is getting larger share of business and feel like they are being taken advantage of with high prices and inconsistent delivery with sourcing orders.

Pros

The pay has always been better than comparable positions at similar companies.

Cons

Too much corporate nonsense. Highly questionable moves by senior leadership has put our future in doubt. They treat tenured employees poorly, favoring external candidates over qualified internal candidates for new job postings. My current role has been redefined twice resulting in a lower pay scale each time along with diminished importance which means a smaller impact on my resumé.

Pros

Not many anymore! The benefits are going to change and those were the Pros.

Cons

Leadership changes too much! There are too many cliques in this company and if you aren't in one, you are biding your time. They all take care of each other and could care less about you. You are only a number in this company!
