Pros

Great training. Company car and fuel card. Some good sales competitions and prizes. Some really great people in the team. Salary ok.

Cons

Always under loads of pressure and the bar rises all the time ( even when you are top of most things). You are punished for being successful and having incredible results by unrealistic targets. Worst of all is managers who don't know how to manage. I was overlooked 3 times for a manager role even though I had years of sales management experience. Happy to use me to train new recruits and spend days helping and training people who were struggling in their areas. If you failed to hit target a few times the 'bully'culture kicks in and I've seen many very successful people have a few bad months and then he on the disciplinary road. The bullying is so bad I've known a whole team of about 8 great reps quit within a month if each other because of poor management
