Pros

Higher than your average Base Salary when compared to other sales positions, good benefits, and they give you a company car

Cons

All of the cars warning and service lights came on in the first month. Management has zero class and will basically insult your intelligence even if the mistake is their own (which it often is). The senior positions don't really seem to know anything about the current industry, but one guy will tell you all about what it was like 10 years ago. The training can be broken down to: Read the instruction manuals to the tools you will sell at home. They send you to Chicago for a 3 day training session but 1 day you will be shown how the tools operate (actually useful) and 2 days is being taught the materials by people who barely have an understanding of it themselves. Inventory is always on a lengthy backorder. I am to sell their tools as a "premium product" but the pins fired from said tools are never available and the pins are supposed to be the "money makers". This isn't due to some huge demand increase, we are backordered even when sales are sluggish. The division currently looks like it is being downsized, which leads me to believe it might not even exist in the next 10 years
