Pros

Stable company with decent pay Smart and professional people Good growth opportunities if you're considered "high potential". If not, good luck Ethical company

Cons

Extremely bureaucratic and hierarchical. Employees work hard, but are not appreciated- you can never do enough. Employees tend to be micromanaged. People can be mean and throw others under the bus on a regular basis. Alot of internal competition

Great Job with great employees

Territory manager

Business Outlook

Pros

You get what you put in, decent salary and commissions. A high paced sales force with monthly if not weekly sales goals.

Cons

Company seems to be more worried about the stock price and or paying its executives. The ground troops that are the life blood of the company seem to be neglected. Cutting back payment packages that seem to not make sense.

Very high hopes, and I was very let down.

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to work on your own schedule. Interact with restaurant store owners. Teach and train crews how to use products and services within their establishments. Free company vehicle, free car insurance, company cell, free gas, free company laptop.

Cons

Was given a territory upon hire, and it has drastically changed over time. I currently live outside my territory due to managements lack of attention of where Representatives reside when added businesses force territory changes. Constant overnights (3-4 per week). Was promised this was a sales driven position. In actuality, it is more of a service job. About 80% service, 15% sales, 5% training, and 100% travel.
