A promising career at the bottom due to management complaining about workload

Pros

You get a newer company vehicle with insurance paid for. You get a monthly allowance to pay for gas, cell phone, and any other expenses you incur, but when cost of that is used up and you have to use your own money to pay for gas, etc...

Cons

Company and management have a disillusioned perception of work-life balance. Vacation time is never used up due to company initiatives and focus on making sure objectives are always met. You don't get paid time off, thier idea of paid time off is making sure your month is not pro-rated for residuals you work hard to maintain.

Pros

Company Car with Gas and Insurance paid for. Work from home / car. Company laptop / cell phone. District Manager is very understanding of what goes on in the field and will stand up for you if you know what you are talking about. Meet a lot of people working in the field. The company isn't going anywhere the positions are very stable for the most part.

Cons

Incredible work load for field reps in all divisions. If you'r not in the office in Saint Pauls, MN your going to be working your butt off doing 10-15 hour days. Good luck taking any vacation they expect you to finish your entire territory before you even think of going anywhere. You'r also on call 24/7 Get done with your territory early? Have fun driving 2 hours to another territory to work someone else stores for the remainder of the month. Lots of Overtime. No Additional Pay for said overtime. No commission in Kay division. CAM (Corporate Account Managers) seem like they do nothing but complain and try to tell you how to do your job down to every task. Incredible amount of windshield time. 4000-6000 Miles a month. Furthest drive is 3 hours away. Some of the territories even overlap!? We are all trained for the same job! Company could easily remap territories and save thousands of dollars a month in fuel costs. Terrible Work-Home balance. This company expects you to be on call all the time. Work plenty of Overtime and not get any extra compensation from it. If you want to move up in this company you have to brag about yourself constantly. Your performance means very little when it comes to promotions. No Commission in certain divisions. High Turnover for Field Reps. Roll Outs = 60-70 hours a week with no overtime.
