Pros

As with all outside sales jobs you have the freedom to plan your own day. You get a corporate credit card for expenses and they expect you to use it! Taking potential or existing customers out to lunch is a nice perk. Great name recognition and excellent customer service.

Cons

Very demanding! Daily/monthly unattainable goals. This is an extremely cut-throat business. You get no commission if you don't make at least 50% of your goal and then only minimal commission until you reach 100% of your goal. You're constantly looking for those customers who are in the small window of opportunity to get out of their current contract with their current provider. You will work you butt off to get a $75.00 contract and may not even get the commission on it. They expect you to work for your base salary. There is a lot of turnover.

Great benefits package, work life balance, my department pay scales were in the mid to high within the salary range

Cons

I worked for WM for 10 years and we through 10 Reduction in Work Force. I finally did not make it through the August 2012 lay offs. Lay off occur every August and people are let go to make the numbers and goals by the end of the year.
