Pros

It's a job, not a career.

Cons

Management is terrible. They play favorites among employees, offer no support or communication. Apparently, "Sell more! Now where's my drink?" is the extent of their strategic sales planning. They keep touting the same line about having "disruptive technology", but there really is nothing innovative about the products. It's a dead end.

Employees are just a number

Pros

Didn't have to work weekends or nights. When I "clocked out", I left my job there and did not bring it home with me.

Cons

Management did not support nor build you up. Any time a proposal for improvement was submitted, it was met with push back. No visible paths for promotion. Underpaid, undervalued, and employees being just a "number" is the culture here.

Too Many Changes

Pros

Flexibility to run your own territory. Great segment managers. Brand new VP and Marketing Director.

Cons

4 commission plans in 2 years (2014-2016), all of them went backwards in pay. Old VP ran too many good employees away from the company. Company doesn't value or care about the employees, number one concern was margin dollars. Takes way too long to get paid any commission, they are typically small checks anyway, but it take weeks if not months to get a $1,500 checked signed off on (and that's typically 2-3 months worth of commission).
