Cons
Sales Reps are micromanaged, constant reporting. You must enter time consuming daily notes on each and every account you had contact with in their system.They also email out 2-3 different weekly reports on what you did in your territory, then management will send out an email questioning, which you already reported on in your daily notes but again must report back on. You spend more time reporting back to management and less time with your customers and prospecting. Commissions are very low, rules changing not in Reps favor and also complicated. Most reps are so overloaded plus low com. they don't have the time to figure it out. This is also a SEASONAL JOB as you are laid off every summer for 7 weeks, so when they tell you what your salary is (which is really hourly) you must minus 7 weeks of hourly pay off that. Be prepared to pay for you benefits(med/dental) during time laid off, you must deal with the unemployment office every summer.
