Pros

Few of their management team are knowledgeable and will teach you some good sales related skills.

Cons

- They say that it's a 6 month program to promote you to an OSR, but they never do. They keep on adding new SDP employees every month, because most people are above 6 months in program and they are exhausted. So either they leave the job or there is a very few chance you are actually promoted to an OSR. - You just keep on Cold calling around 50 calls all day and you learn nothing and they expect you to get a lot of deals. - Some of the meetings are required to attend, which is not beneficial at all. -

Pros

Pay is $23.57 an hour which great, especially for what we do-outbound calls.

Cons

Managers of the program should focus more on real sales experience. So more ride along a with outside sales reps and job site visits. Never got core four certified for equipment due to cancellations from the trainer. No focus on selling used equipment, focus was only on renting. Stack rank system is flawed and rewarded false reservations to reps who put deals without customer permission.
