Pros

Pay and benefits at UR are very good. Easy in sales to earn six figures and to expand your skill set. Branch level management (at least mine) cared about you as an employee. Specialized divisions means you always had a line that could benefit a customer.

Cons

A overall sales outlook of burn and turn. Salesforce is used like a sledge hammer and just adds to busy work despite your performance. Beyond branch level is out of touch with local markets and ticking all the boxes is what matters.

Pros

Great sales Training, benefit packages, company vehicle, cell phone and lap top.

Cons

Not a lot of positive reinforcement from management, have to be on call during your assigned week and were responsible for managing all service calls in the entire metro area 24/7. You could end up with 10 service calls by 8am on Saturday morning when they start at 3AM or you could end up with zero the entire week if you are lucky.
