Business outlook
Pros
Strong Financial performance, Gaining market share, enjoyable customer relationships. Decent pay if budgets are obtained.
Cons
Many District managers and Vice Presidents of sales who practice negative reinforcement management styles as they like to keep you "shaking in your shoes" as a means of motivation. This combined with a subjective performance appraisal process can make things much more stressful then they should be. Micro Management, too focused on lead generation forcing 100+ cold calls per week. Long store hours. Has strong focus on hiring women and minorities not necessarily the best candidate.
