Pros
Education on asking the right questions and having a job description at interview
Cons
I was given tiny accounts, the gentleman that 'shared' the area had worked there for nearly 20 years and received every 'good/solid' lead. I had an impossible quota (given the circumstances). I did not have an 'assistant' to book my commercials. I was not local to the Branch and only 'in-house' reps received help. I had 0 training on nearly everything. I worked 12-14 hours trying to get everything done (and I had tiny accounts). I had to be the 'collections agent' for my clients that were not up to date. Ultimately, I was fired, in front of my 12 year old daughter (who my boss knew would be at the office with me, due to a holiday). The 'boss' (was a 'company man') and the gentleman who 'shared' the territory with me were friends outside of the workplace. My position was not filled. The accounts I had went to the other rep.
