Good starter job for any age. DIRTY back breaking labor, low pay

Field sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good entry level position to gain experience working autonomously. Good benefits. Flexible work schedule. Low turnover rate so you can hold on to your job for years if you are willing to put up with the work and low pay structure. Working alone and self managing your territory.

Cons

Back breaking blue-collar labor, lack of latest technology to prepare you for the next step of a higher paying white collar sales position, dirty warehouse work, no room for advancement from this position within the company, low pay, only management and their manager makes money so huge pay disparity, lack of DEI in management positions and throughout this position, dirty modern-day slave labor. NO RAISES!!! No frills, management gets paid cash bonuses, high salaries $$$,$$$ and luxury vacations to keep the budget next to nothing while you do the back breaking work daily, sickening
