                  Business Outlook

                  Pros

                  Enjoyed lots of time being trained on the products and services. Many times in Sales roles you are not allotted that amount of technical onboarding. As your career advances you can ask for more training if your District Manager deems it will help and will pay to fly you to corporate. Good Base salary and Car/Insurance/Gas is a huge plus.

                  Cons

                  You constantly are feeling the crunch of the administrative side of things by having to document each step of your sales processes so upper management can track your work. The amount of work spent selling isn't translated into that high of commision dollars, "the selling" IS your job and you need to do it in order to keep your job.

                      If asked what type of management style to you prefer? How do you feel about micromanagement? How do you answer this professionally? Nobody likes micromanagement so why ask? Maybe bc the manager there does?

                      In an interview is it a good practice to draw examples for answering situational questions from the most recent and relevant experience or should I draw examples from other previous experiences as well?
