Pros

Work alone, set my hours, company car and laptop, high quality products to sell, always a new product or service to present to the customer, customer base was great, many opportunities to grow my business.

Cons

On Call 24/7 M-F, On Call one weekend a month covering multiple districts, Gas allowance too low, training poor or non existent (since changed, but still not great) Management will not stand behind you if there is a problem, Promotions slow or not forthcoming, Sales goals set with no field input, sales pushes at quarter ends are usually unobtainable, Strong sense of "What Have You Done For Me Lately" mentality, where past performance is quickly forgotten as soon as the calendar changes

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
