Pros

Great Pay (salary + commission) Good Benefits Good Experience Growing Company

Cons

Demanding quotas Struggling economy Tough market penetration You might have to take a lot of crap from some hot-headed business owners/managers. Misleading job title and description. I was great at providing support to the sales team and could do the sales as well but since I was the sales support I had no one to turn to for help and had to instead rely on myself to do all the work creating, balancing, supporting, providing, ordering for, and managing all the accounts. You're sales, sales support, market research, accounting, procurement, VMI, and prospecting all in one but only get paid for the sales. Its worth getting into to build your resume but I wouldn't plan on sticking around.

Pros

Decentralized work place. You can run your business how you want to. Pay is alright for a starter job. They do a good amount of training.

Cons

Decentralized work place. Your boss can run his business how he wants to and if you get a new boss who is incompetent there is nothing you can do. This is a 30/30/30 company. They higher people under 30, pay them less then 30, and they stay around for less then 30 months on average.
