Pros

Pay and benefits at UR are very good. Easy in sales to earn six figures and to expand your skill set. Branch level management (at least mine) cared about you as an employee. Specialized divisions means you always had a line that could benefit a customer.

Cons

A overall sales outlook of burn and turn. Salesforce is used like a sledge hammer and just adds to busy work despite your performance. Beyond branch level is out of touch with local markets and ticking all the boxes is what matters.

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.
