Pros

Great benefits, with several perks such as company truck, phone and ETC... Great place to work if they don’t micro manage. Commission structure is great. Goals can be reasonable to attain.

Cons

Micro-management to the 10th power. Bad decision by management, made on who management likes better. Pushes education to certain people to get a particular position but others will get the position if their friends or family. Deserving people will get looked over. Too many favorites And a large amount of Nepotism and cronyism. Mostly seen in the Mississippi-Tenn area like nephews getting hired with no proper background in sales over deserving people who’ve been with the company for years.

Pros

Excellent benefits and a plethora of tools ans support. Company truck for sales reps at $75 per pay period. It’s a very well known company so you get a lot of business from national accounts. If you can get your foot in the door, it’s an experience that’s worth it. No regrets.

Cons

Due to their size and like so many publicly traded companies, there is a huge disconnect on the expectations. My manager did his best but you could tell his bosses were asking for unachievable results. My sales manager was clueless at her role and no sales experience to lead a team. Things she would ask from us were counter productive. Not anything I couldn’t deal with.
