Vantaggi
Perfect place to start a career in sales. There is tons of opportunity for advancement if you are willing to move. Every year or so you can promote if you are hard working and motivated to learn. You get a company truck, gas card, expense account, iphone, laptop and fax machine/printer. You can drive the vehicle on your personal time and do not pay for gas. Brand recognition, innovative products and aggressive product launching help to increase opportunity. Benefits are pretty good.
Svantaggi
Work/life balance is not very good. To promote you almost always have to move. If you keep turning down promotions you will end up blacklisted, forced out or fired. All sales positions have low base pay. Only receive a 5K raise for each promotion. Very aggressive bonus structures are paid out annually only (zero commission). If you do not hit your bonus at the end of year you get nothing. Only cost of living raises. All markets receive same compensation. The company is growing very fast but we do not get compensated more. Constant turnover hurts our reputation at the distributor and end user level.
