Vantaggi
You can work out of your home if you are in the sales department - this is the only plus. I can't think of any other benefit to working here.
Svantaggi
Where do I begin? I was promised $2,000 per month base plus commission with a handshake. What I got was $20,000 a year - quite a bit less than the $24,000 a year I needed. The owner seemed aggravated that I wanted product training. With over 100,000 products on his website, I had asked for some of the most profitable and best sellers. I'm the sales rep, I'm supposed to know. The owner had over 25 years in this industry. I'm just starting out and my goal of $100,000 a month was not communicated to me properly. Every other place I worked there was training and a goal of $40,000 per month. Paychecks were often late, until January 2010, where he couldn't pay me at all. I left, filed unemployment. I seldom received help from the owner (head of sales) and had to rely on field technicians to price out quotations. Customers wanted quotations right away. The owner told me to do quotes at the end of the day. Whenever I did quotes right away, I got sales. When I delayed quotes, few of them closed. I wasn't making sales.
