Pros

Lots of opportunities for advancement. Great culture around the company. You get rewarded for making money. The company doesn't mind spending money for training, catered lunches, customer and employee entertainment, etc. Lots of perks outside of just a paycheck

Cons

You can move up quickly but you have to be willing to move. If you don't want to move, you are in competition with everyone at the local level and you are subject to seniority rules.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to set your own schedule. The company as a whole has high aspirations, which makes you feel that you are working towards a common goal. Generally, the people within the company are easy to work with and will assist with questions/needs. There is a lot of room for advancement opportunity, but you can virtually guarantee having to relocate to do so.

Cons

Extremely long hours. Commission, even with hard work, can be hard to come by if the market isn't in your favor. There is a lot of inside sales turnover, making it frustrating due to having to adapt to new faces to those who assist the accounts you call on and manage.
