Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★

good benefits, off weekends and paid holidays
Cons
hard to move up for promotion
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
-Good benefits -Stock and 401(k) plans -Good PTO from start -Adequate training program -Decent starting pay and commission plan
Cons
- Almost no advancement possibilities unless you know someone who is in a hiring position or are a 'favorite' - Extremely micromanaged and negative results are always the spotlight. - Monthly goals and metrics interfere with each other; you will have to choose between which metrics are valuable over commission payments. - Company focused on bottom-line and shareholder earnings/stock price.

- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits and descent base pay. Good amount of starting paid time off.
Cons
Micro managed to death, even when hitting your numbers. Be prepared for many one on one meetings every week to scrutinize every metric you can think of. Bad commission plans that can change more than once a year They cap commission, so if you max out you have no incentive to continue selling

Lot of politics within and across teams. No professional growth, good to work 2-3 yrs if you are young and inexperienced. I have seen people in the same position for decades.

Pros
Solid pay, good benefits, people stay for a long time

They don't walk the talk with their people. They promote people who are great star performers and never train them to manage people well. As a result, there are thousands of micro cultures and many horrible managers that treat their people terribly,

- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits and smart company overall, management is pretty good. They treat you well overall and work with you if you work hard.
Cons
They work you hard and cap your pay. They only want to pay reps a certain amount but give you a lot of administration that takes up selling time. You are a one stop shop; customer service, billing, admin and help with some operational stuff. All of this plus you are expected to sell.

- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Weekly pay, good benefits, decent pay for the area
Cons
When you are sent for training in Arizona or Florida they preach saftey. I have found that while working at the Kansas City Kansas location this is not true. Dispatch doesn't know what they are doing, route managers don't seem to care either
