      Sales Center - Pittsburgh

      Inside sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Free daily parking Resume builder

      Cons

      Calling on 500-1,000+ businesses across several states (that have done little to no business with the company and in most cases have never heard of it), only to then turn over the top accounts that you build up to outside reps. $35k starting salary, commissions come from sales but the “zeros to heroes” accounts get reassigned to outside sales representatives after they start purchasing a certain amount. No team comradery as turnover is extremely high. Promotion to outside sales entails starting completely over with new accounts and tossing established business away, only to start at same $35k salary & rebuilding business to try to start earning commissions again.

      Pros

      Profit sharing, benefits, stock options

      Low pay, horrible raises of you get one at all, management at the branch level plays favorites.
