Pros

Insides Sales provided me with the tools I needed to get a field sales postition Managers were very supportive of my desire to move to the field and met with me on multiple occasions to discuss what I could do to improve my marketability to potential District Leaders. Ultimately I was promoted to the field after 2 years in Inside Sales which is what I was promised when I took the job. Large bonus payouts available if you exceed your goal. Friendly envoirnment for different age groups. If you are at or above goal it is a relaxed working envoirnment where the managers tend to let you handle your own business.

Cons

If you are not looking to move out of state there is limited advancement opportunities. Numbers driven to the point that some tasks become very tedious.

Pros

decent pay. Good coworkers. Quality products.

Cons

Terrible Management, managers are number crunchers and do not know how to coach or motivate. Inside joke is "the KI way" because you cannot question how things are done. If you do you are labeled as having a bad attitude. Micromanagement. Sales have been decreasing for 4 years straight because all the good sales people leave and they replace them with people with no experience.
