Pros

Hybrid WFH 2 days a week, Decent Pay, Flexible with you if you need time off or have emergencies. Big company means office parties, free food opportunities, nice break rooms, and stock options after 2 years. Great for entry level experience to leverage for higher positions elsewhere or within

Cons

Upper management for this particular department seems to have no direction. You'll fight coworkers for sales sometimes unless you have a good relationship with your field team. The region you're assigned is everything even if they tell you everyone is equal. Some regions have long winters and do use much equipment while other territories stay steady year round. Some territories only want to work with a field rep and not a remote rep and if you're in a bad territory you won't be in the position long. The District Managers of your region understand that the book of business you're given isn't supposed to be all that profitable and are thrilled when you have positive growth, but your department manager will make you feel like you suck at your job.

Pros

Flexibility so long as job is done well; Company Truck/Fuel Card; Information about accounts and equipment at your fingertips; support from direct management; "uncapped" commission

Cons

Fleet can be limited during peak rental seasons restricting used equipment sales prospects/closing; reliance on Salesforce as a means of customer "touches", while necessary for tracking and deal security (proving you were working on a deal), is tedious and time consuming; accounts growing to a certain size are moved to sales level above OSR leaving smaller, infrequently renting accounts as the main source for commission; due to previous, commission becomes inadvertently "capped".
