Pros

Work/Life balance, advancement opportunities, Fastenal School of Business training classes

Cons

They do not pay competitively. If you have a manager not willing to share good accounts, it's difficult to make a good commission. So you are essentially doing work for someone else to get paid more for. If they keep the account in their name, they make double the commission for it. The account specialists and outside sales staff rely on that commission because our hourly rates were so low. They purposefully understaffs branches so you are often expected to take care of responsibilities outside of your job description, and that you don't make commission on.
