Pros

It's a great learning opportunity for a first time B2B sales rep if you can survive the first year. I was lucky to have a great manager. The schedule flexibility and customer interaction is the best part of my job.

Cons

The business processes are the worst part of the job ie: order entry, quoting proccess, billing issues, delivery, etc. Low base pay and declining commission opportunities are a big challenge as well. Hard work is not necessarily rewarded. The company direction is moving toward expensive services that are not well designed or implemented. Upper management blames the sales force for the lack of customer interest in the serives. The training did not give me the tools for success. I was left to figure it out on my own.

Pros

Creative Services team in North America is led by an absolutely stellar Brand Director, with a fantastic team that continues to smash it. The wider business and fellow employees have always been genuinely kind, and the office environment is very friendly as well.

Cons

I truly can't think of any! The team and atmosphere is great!

Pros

• Decent pay • Great benifits • Car allowance/reimbursement for a personal vehicle and depreciation • The ability to travel and build relationships with customers • Learning mechanical and electrical skills • Independence and teamwork

Cons

• They just started enforcing the new commute policy which requires technicians to now give the company an hour of their time to and from work, if the customer is that distance away from their home at the beginning or end of day. Ultimately stealing up to 2 hours from the technician every single day and effectively punishing you for living so far away from a customer site. • Always coming with new ways to screw over technicians. They also just implemented new metrics that contribute to or take away from your bonus. • Sales reps usually always get the wrong equipment delivered to a customer and you have to be the one to deal with a screwed up mess • Lack of communication between sales/deliveries/management
