Pros
modest paid training stipend allowance
Cons
100% commission, ... mostly ALL evenings and weekends -- lucky if not 7 days/ week -- always worrying about 'the Hustle' HUGE territory, (i put 95kms on SUV in 9 mos!! + $4000 407 bills every half year just to save time -- because Time was Money!) Office Politics -- if you do not bring in 'Self-generated contracts' on order of 8-10 per month then you are LOCKED out of getting company leads... which you are PROMISED in job interviewing etc..... and unless you are willing to bank YEARS to build up your clientele base to weather this -- OR go door-knocking MANY hours every day (which they are now on the News about BANNING Door-to-door sales of ANY KIND!!!!) Slooooooooow to Respond to competitive Marketplace -- Did NOT react to outside HUGE competitive factors, like a MAJOR New competitor player entering Consumer Marketk Sloooooooow, Archaic AS 400 computer system for Quoting... and 'time is $$' to a 100% commission salesperson!!! Management bickers with each other ... and it's HIGH PRESSURE all the time. Offers Benefits -- 70/30 mix and it's expensive to pay in to. Car allowance was less than $100/ month ... for EVERYTHING... car lease, maintenance, repairs, gas, etc... The month i had to PAY to go to work is when I gave my notice!!! Average cost $800/ month in gas + $500/ mo 407 charges + Repairs and I didn't even have a car payment to worry about!!!
