Pros
If you are good at the job as a sales agent, you can make pretty decent money. But just like everyone else said, Jesco can't seem to seal the deal to sign a contract with any new store chains in the US, and therefore, you'll work the same stores over and over again. Do anchor outs with stores that haven't been pounded to death and you might make money.
Cons
The CEO is one of the most arrogant people I have ever come across. As someone who was in a management role, I became quite familiar with him. He is so out of touch with his company, it's not even funny. When he IS working (and not out on his boat, or not answering his phone in an emergency), he communicates by constant scare tactics, which include cursing and long-winded yelling. Because he doesn't work much, he will randomly pop his face back into the company and scream about things that happened weeks before and are already resolved. Often times, he'll scream about things you've done that he told you to do, because he forgot he told you to do them. If you're really, really lucky, after the yelling, you might get an incredibly long story about his early days with the company, where he explains the same thing over and over again, or pats himself on the back for various things. What he doesn't seem to realize is that he has real people working for him- he has absolutely no respect for the people that bust their butts every day to keep his company running. No lie, once he called me at 11:30 at NIGHT. He talked for 45 minutes, and after I finally cut him off and said I had to go to bed, I still could not figure out what the purpose of the call was, and why the heck he called me, but I was furious when I got off the phone. You own a promotions company, dude. You're not curing cancer. There's no reason why that phone call couldn't have waited til business hours. This company is in very poor shape financially, because they have made some very bad decisions, and spent way too much money on things that don't make sense. As evidenced by the fact that MANY long-time people in coach, director, and senior management roles, have all quit this year, it's time to make some drastic changes to improve, and no, those drastic changes should not involve cutting the support staff so your directors have to work even harder in an already thankless job.
