Vantaggi
The company has a great name brand, and the products work (most of the time). They are really easy on you if you do not hit your number for a few months in a row, so the job security is pretty good. If you do hit your number consistently, you get autonomy to pretty much do what you want to do.
Svantaggi
The organization can be very "clicky"...at least at the local level. If you do not buddy up with the leaders at the regional level, than you are overlooked, or not given preferential treatment. Top sales reps are allowed to do whatever they want, and treat others very poorly, and nothing ever happens to them. From what I know, there have been several managers that have come and gone over the years because of this. Managers are typically former successful sales reps, but that doesn't mean they know how to manage. The regional manager only comes to town every once in a while, and even then, only hangs out with the reps that are a part of the "click", which is only just a couple of them.
