Strong training and job security, but KPIs can hinder sales
Former employee, more than 1 year
Birmingham, AL

Pros
This is a fantastic job either out of school or first field sales job. The training in Chicago is 6-10 weeks depending on the product line you sell. It prepares you really well if you work hard in training to be able to confidently sell the product line your in and company as whole. The pay is solid for an entry level position. Even if you don't hit your numbers you will still bring home a good amount. If you are good worker not even the hardest worker your job security is amazing. They only let go of people if they are just lazy. There is also a clear path for promotions and progression. You got solid autonomy because you are on the road 3 days a week. Overall it's a good job and you can be there for a long time with solid security and good paycheck.
Cons
KPIs are the name of the game. Every little thing is tracked and at times the process they want you to stay with can be detrimental to the sale. However they have a proven process and system that works so trusting it is just fine, just know you will have to do things like make cold calls when you could be doing something more productive or booking sales calls with customers just to check a box when it's not beneficial to anyone. But if you crush KPIs you will get promoted and be rewarded. The other biggest thing is after about 5-7 years there if you can't get a management position, your pay and ability to move up flattens out. Not a ton of people work there in their past their mid 30s unless their in management.

Good starting job, but poor career progression and management

Pros
- Good starting job for exposure to market. - Structured training program to get you ready for sales.
Cons
- Career progression is almost a dream especially if you plan stay long in the company. - Lack of transparency in how they promote employees even if you do well and exceed your target. - Salary growth is negligible if you perform average compared to the rest. - Management lacks direction and powerless as they have to listen to the HQ and cannot make decisions on their own. - Close to zero employee welfare and HR has no backbone to make decisions for employees.
