Vantaggi
Easy to get a job. Generally nice people to work with. Inexpensive coffee in the cafeteria. Inside sales is pretty easy, we get an assigned territory and you spend all day on the phone.
Svantaggi
Employee respect from managers is minimal (we are treated like school children) No communication between different branches (sales, accounting, shipping...) Working in a windowless basement, Inside sales was a pain too, because our sales volume, is pretty much the same as the outside sales staff, but we get half the pay and the outside folks get a car allowance. a car allowance would have been nice, since i had to drive 2 hours in traffic each way EVERY day. Snowstorms were damaging too...manager would tell me to leave even earlier and stay later, basically spending 5 hours in a car in order to spend 8 more at work.
