Extremely cheap company...

Business Outlook

Pros

Pretty good benefits for a sales position. Matched 401k, good healthcare, dental, and vision. Discounted stock plan. A great way to learn how to sale. Depending on your market, it's pretty lax as long as you are making your monthly number.

Cons

The problem with this company is that all plants are "desegregated" By plants I mean markets. Each plant is run by a general manager and he gets paid based on "cash flow" Everything affects cash flow including commission rates, equipment, etc Out of market commission rates are ridiculous. 1.2% on any out of market sales. So that's $1,200 on a $100,000 contract. Not fair in my opinion.

Overall not a bad place to work

Business Outlook

Pros

Though the company is rather large it still has a small company feel. You are pretty much left alone to do your job with the exception of mandatory reports (And there are lots of them)

Cons

The Account Managers have little to no experience in this industry making it very difficult! Frequent turn-over means everyones still learning the ropes. Compensation overall is not very good here and if you're not in sales then there isn't a clearly defined career or growth path!
