Pros

Expense card, rapid new product launches. Learn a lot about many aspects of business which makes you marketable to other employers.

Cons

Absolutely no support, morality or appreciation. I was in my territory for well over a year and never had a manager work with me. Management does not have your back, which does not make you want to work hard for them. Promotions are based on whether you were an eagle scout or a wrestler, not on the successes you've had. Numbers do not tell the full story either. Same growth expectation regardless of size of territory both in terms of volume and geography. Senior reps take advantage of new hires instead of teaching and guiding. There were honest reviews in 2015, which is when leadership encouraged employees to write positive reviews; just look at the rating trends.
