Pros

Flexibility, great team, interactions with operators and clients. No actual problem with the job - I loved every minute of it. It was great until it was not.

Cons

However, I can't say the same about how it's managed. Was let go recently in a mini layoff due to "restructuring" and it's utter bs. I watched senior members of the team fake calls and take one call and turn it into 5, all while sitting in the office yapping all day about nothing. They take and home an egregious amount of samples purely for their own use. They only sell what gives them the commissions and only log the sales that they make. So their scores look amazing. However, it's fake. Meanwhile. the honest brokers log everything, even if it does not sell. Then we are all let go even though we met all our KPIs. Ridiculous. Expired product samples. Can't take a sample to an account if it's bad! I could go on into great detail about the nuances that cause CORE to lose money, but it won't matter. They just spent an excessive amount of cash on things that could have easily been a one day video meeting. Worst part? They folded an entire team - a team that did more with less in a tiny amount of time compared to the senior brokers. No reason, no warning. Just a quick call - hey, you're jobless even though you just had major meetings with major clients 20 minutes prior. Not a good look and not very professional.

Pros

No pros whatsoever. Regional manager was horrific as well as the mgmt team overseeing the Walmart Direct Team.

Cons

All cons. Nothing about this job was worth the stress. Infact, this job should require hazard duty pay for the sheer amount of stress that it places on your mental health and physical health.
