Pros

great product to offer with positive vision.

Cons

Basically hired on as a "scab" to push digital sales reporting to an out of market supervisor (over 1,000 miles away) and workig at the local media outlet to try and sell the same/very similar products as the local sales representatives. The local office gave us ROE that basically prohibited us from calling on any prospect the the local sales rep had ever called on (that was basically in their database).
