Pros

you have a job with a salary, car and benefits.

Cons

when i came into this company their focus was hiring the best AE's they could get, experience was a must and they paid you for how hard you worked. A couple years later they now give a small salary with not a lot of opportunity for additional dollars if you have a mature territory your stuck financially. They are hiring AE's without any outside sales experience! They have become a marketing and finance drive company with huge control by human resources. Most reps share recruiter/job information

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
