Pros

Company has pretty good benefits...

Cons

Training is not really helpful then you are expected to start selling after your first week even though you have no idea how to sell the product. There is no base pay so while you are in training the money they pay isn’t enough to live...which is why most people quit within the first month. I’m currently looking for a new career because my bills don’t care that I was not properly trained. Oh and the mileage pay is a lot less than the amount of gas that you have to use.

Pros

Good company to work for, huge customer base and big brand that sells itself. They pay well when you get deals signed. You get a lot of freedom when you perform well

Cons

Pay is full commission. It’s a lot of self hunting and prospecting, Not a big deal but that’s a deal breaker for some. A lot of the job you learn as you go, you’ll start to get familiar with the equipment and the sales process. When you don’t perform you will be micromanaged. Company does not like to “fire” so they will ride you to help you get on. Track if you’re not making quota.
