Pros

Hard work is rewarded with excellent pay. I have been an employee for better than 10 years and probably have the most well rounded view of all the reviews on here. I can assure you that productive Reps enjoy fantastic pay, a flexible work schedule, and many advancement opportunities. As I read some of the other reviews it is I obvious that most of the negative omments were made by employees who weren't successful. Rest assured, a good work ethic will insure success!

Cons

As with EVERY job there are things that cause frustration. Yes, there are office politics and yes there is some favoritism... Show me am office where this doesn't exist! The fact is that my job has Afforded me a very comfortable lifestyle where I have the freedom to raise a family be be an involved parent.

Pros

The benefits are okay but the medical and dental need some work. Employees are held financially responsible for huge medical and dental bills if you need anything more serious than a x-ray or a cavity filled. I'm talking anywhere from $100-$2000 per bill (I myself have paid about $4000 in medical bills on top of my monthly insurance payment) but the amount taken out of our checks isn't all that expensive so that's probably why. If you don't get sick or injured often and your teeth are good it's not a bad insurance to have. Time off is good but it's discouraged to use it (despite the fact that you lose it each January) if you aren't in the top 10% of sales.

Cons

Hmm, where to start??? Sales management is horrible. It's nearly impossible to move up in this company unless you know someone. People are promoted to sales management based on how much they kiss up and who they're sleeping with. Ability to lead and support is not only not required it actually appears to be discouraged. They tear down their sales reps, making them feel incompetant and like 5 year old children. The higher-ups make up ridiculous rules and policies that make getting things done efficiently and correctly nearly impossible. They won't hire cleaning crews for their sales offices, instead leaving it on the shoulders of an over-worked administrative assistant that's forced to wear a suit to work while he/she scrubs floors, desks, bathrooms and all kinds of disgusting things. The result is the offices being dirty since so many people making a mess is naturally too much for one person to handle considering they're not a janitor. New sales leads are given to the managers favorites rather than distributed fairly, lay offs in sales offices are done on a personal level, not based on job performance or time with the company. Managers call customers to verify that sales reps actually met with them resulting in customers doubting the integrity of their rep, without having any reason to distrust the employee. Customer service, billing and collections don't want to do their job and tell all customers to direct their questions and issues to the sales reps or the administrative assistant, (No matter what the problem is) who have to go back to those departments for resolutions 99% of the time anyway since we aren't allowed to do any of that (Policies that make everything impossible). A telephone sales team has free reign over the entire country and is allowed to sweep in and sell products to customers that already have a rep and take the commision. Basically it's a big mess.

Pros

Benefits are great. As long as you can stay under the radar of local and regional management, you can earn a good living inspite of their constant disruptive activity like meeting, reports, inefficient infrastructure and system processing

Cons

Just bad management with ego maniacs that treat you like a child and nit pick too much about pointless and useless stuff. Company work policies actually hinders the selling process and customer service necessary to sustain a good working relationship between me and my customers. Also they take accounts away from you and replace with deadbeats and even worse. More suspects than prospects for a good advertising customer relationship.
