Pros

no travel, didn't have to take the work home with you. You punched out and didn't think about work at night.

Cons

Sat in a cube and spoke with unqualified leads for 95% of the day. Daily call reviews with owner of company who wanted you to sell buildings to people who could not afford them. Sell a non-engineered building to someone that couldn't use it just to make a fast buck. Warranty is total trash and non-existent. Told to promise deadlines that we were unable to achieve in order to make sale. Company printed wrong pricing in catalog to increase call volume. Commission paid 20 days after completion of project; or whenever they feel like it. Told to get off the phone before 10 minutes if customer is unqualified. Other employees are great to work with and very helpful. Very high turn over rate, someone seems to quit every 3 weeks. Was unable to get benefits for the first 90 days (after trial eval period was over). Commissions are capped; typically the commission structure is changed with no input from the sales force at all. Converted a conference room into more work space by sticking 14 cubicles into the space. Interior of building is rundown with duct tape on the carpeting and dust all over the HVAC. Cannot have your cell phone out on your desk or make personal phone calls during the day. If you have no job and need one desperately this can be the place for you. Don't leave your current job for this opportunity.

Pros

-income potential of $75K++ -work with variety of customers across the world, literally...consumers, businesses, government agencies -each project is different, requiring you to stay on your toes and know a little bit about almost every industry in the US

Cons

-see reviews for "Farmtek" on GlassDoor.com. They are same company, and run by same eccentric and erratic owner. Those should sum it up for any potential job seekers... Additionally... -no loyalty towards any employees, from sales to admin to senior managers. everyone is expendable, resulting in frequent in turnover without regard for tenure, performance, or place in organization. only matters what the owner of the company thinks/feels on that day. fire people regularly at the drop of a hat. -"yes man" organization to a T. no outside the box thinking allowed. hence, the same problems have been occurring there for YEARS. - no unified, consistent direction for the company. owner of the company changes focus for organization on a seemingly daily/weekly/monthly basis -over past 2 years, been cutting corners on quality to save money and add to "PBT"....in other words, profits for the owner to build his new luxury home in the Caribbean. majority of raw materials and various other supplies imported from China.

Pros

The people you work with are great, you can depend on some of your coworkers to help you gain knowledge of the product. Travel is up to you, some travel some don't.

Cons

Had to work mandatory overtime. Was told appearances are everything, owner hates to see people not at work, for any reason. Rotating Saturday's. Daily call reviews, where management listens to your sales calls. Management has no idea what they are doing in managing people. Had to rely on other sales members with all questions, and they are busy trying to satisfy management. No real indicator of you are doing well, other than if sales numbers are strong immediately.
