Vantaggi
The benefits are good. Oh, and I've made some good friends because we feel like we're in the war zone and of course you'll bond with people when everyone is so stressed and overworked. Otherwise, there is nothing. This position is so far from what I was told when interviewing. The training process was very intensive but thorough -- it was also completely unrealistic. They should have just taught us the copy codes, etc. and said, "You will get beaten up by your customers every day. No one likes this product. You'll be lucky to renew 50% of your accounts."
Svantaggi
They are always screwing with the pay plan (cut the base by 40% weeks after my hire date); we are micro-managed to the nth degree; we're constantly being taken out of our territories for stupid meetings that run far too long; the customers and general public don't think much of the company; we are collectors in addition to sales reps or our commissions will be taken back. They talk a lot about integrity but the way to succeed is to be a fast talking swindler who gladly stabs other reps in the back to get the precious new business.
