Pros

You run your own territory and pay is good with company car. Benefits great!

Cons

Worked for a corrupt racist man. He consistently sent racist texts and made sexist jokes about every female. I was asked to not help out another teammate so that she would fail. He started rumors about all in the company. Lied to get the highest award given. H.R. will not help you if you are discriminated against. Very sad very corrupt. Good ole white boys club!!
