Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is good, and company expects a lot from their sales professionals.

Cons

Company has made many decisions to grow the business, but recently eliminated key professionals that were influential on growing the service industry. Recent re-organization has improved a lot of how we do business with our customers, however, I am concerned that they are products based, not long term service providers. Recent changes have actually diminished my commission structure to grow the service business.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work completely independent, get the job done however you want however success is demanded. Lateral career moves easy to get at lower levels. Travel at your discretion. Pay is very competitive.

Cons

Bureaucracy is stifling and still growing. Work not distributed fairly. Benefits cut almost every year.

Pros

Pay & Benefits & some of the employees.

Cons

Leadership not held accountable for making good things happen.Walk the talk. Annual surveys don't result in any real change. No chance for advancement unless someone in upper management is willing to mentor you.
