Pros

* Company provided vehicle that goes home with you and a gas card * Decent benefits package

Cons

* Work/Life balance?? Almost non existent * Long days (12+ hours) not even including drive time (which can be up to 2 hours) * Vacations are not really vacations as you must complete ALL the same work (plus new customers) and you have less time to do it * Bonuses are achieved only by meeting sales numbers & schedule numbers BUT managers dictate your schedule based on "customer needs" ; which is an excuse not to pay bonuses * Weekends are a pain specifically because as customers can call at anytime of the day as opposed to M-F when its only a set time frame * Safety is preached but never practiced when it comes to employees personal safety; if they really wanted safe, they would allow employees some rest & proper time off

Pros

Worked in a small aquired division of Ecolab in North Atlanta. Very hands off, no micro managing and fun work environment including flexible hours as long as quota were hit. Great job pay wise for recent hire.

Cons

Lack of supervision and training. Poorly incentivized; regardless of close revenue, max of $100 could be profited, up to $1500 per quarter. This was for an inside to outside sales program, but unfortunately at the time it was winding down. This tempered my overall rating.
