Pros
This position had several perks. They gave you a company car and gas card for travel. Great 401k with a 6% match. A ton of autonomy and flexibility.
Kontras
The training was geared more toward their products than sales tactics. The company as a whole seems very resistant to change. They do not hire the best managers. I had the opportunity to meet a majority of the managers within the company and they all seemed to have the same management style. The alpha male, the smartest guy in the room who is never wrong. If you contact them with a question, rather than being helpful, they would make you feel stupid for not knowing already. They don't seem to be invested in their employee's growth or advancement. The job is demanding (as all sales positions are), but they set expectations and demand different results. The company does not have a consistent message. Example: "We are changing our bonus structure. We want to pay you to produce business, not be professional quoters. We will no longer have quarterly quote minimums." By the end of the first quarter, all of the salesmen were being gauged by quote numbers, not sales numbers.
