Pros
Stable job(there will always be a need for BAS and HVAC etc), opportunities to get involved in employee resource groups, leadership etc. lots of technical support if you need just have to ask the right person
Kontras
Unfortunately, the field is still sexist environment (catcalled, inappropriate remarks etc). As a female, you are expected to act exactly as a man and be ok with unprofessional work behaviors often associated with “the old boys club”. I was often times left out of “team” meetings or lunches which I later found out were all my male coworkers meeting without me. You have to form internal deals with team members as you are constantly competing for deals not just with outside competition but internal sales teams as well. Manager did not have a individualized management style with each employee to foster growth and support. A lot of sales initiatives are pushed down from corporate to local sales teams but often are not applicable or feasible for local area.
