Pros

Own cubicle, freedom to get up from work area as you please. Nobody constantly hounding you. You can eat at your desk. Plenty of overtime.

Cons

Expectations too high, doesn't properly train for the job. (Has a co-worker try to teach you their ways of how to get the job done. People blame others for their mistakes constantly) People I worked directly with were not friendly. Very cliquey work environment.

Pros

Great training Very simple sales objective Annual goals, broken down into monthly goals. Great management with management to skills vs numbers. Goals are created monthly based on buying cycles. Clients really need the products they are offering. It is a service businesses really benefit from and the local support is amazing. Great employee management/managers. Easy to attain and over achieve if you do you daily tasks.

Cons

Processes sometimes create problems for clients on boarding. DIfficult to get ahead once you get behind. This job is a very strategic sale and is an emotional sale/fear of the unknown. Travel for training and offsite events expected to happen off business hours. (In addition to your normal work week.) 3rd tier training they require you double bunk with someone from your 2nd tier training class.
