Pros

The training was outstanding. The focus on product knowledge with the well a balanced approach to each product was impressive. I enjoyed the online continual training and certification. The company benefits are excellence in terms of company car, Health Insurance, 401K and vacation time. This company takes good care of its employee. The target lists for offices to calls on are up to date, and provide good detail for how to approach each call to maximize each presentation. All managers I worked with realy care about you and your succes.
