Pros

The benefits are good, the friendships are okay. Many good people have left after the lame salary decrease in January.

Cons

management at the top has no respect for this channel, the change in pay has hurt all employees. behind the scenes money games played with commissions/bonuses. not really a sales job as you have to do the job for billing, collections and lose most bigger sales to other divisions without compensation. No respect for the amount of work done. Our base pay was reduced by almost $10k without any input and in its place a commission structure that rewards the same few people over and over while the rest of us that are tenured employees struggle to make ends meet. The salary decrease really destroyed morale and continues to eat away everyday at the sales people who are treated like crap by upper management beyond the channel. No matter how much The Director tries to make condition better, he has no power as upper management treats him like crap too.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
