Pros

The team is enthusiastic and integrates people well Company car Sales bonus

Cons

The job involves much more than just being a salesperson. Besides meeting sales targets for repair quotes, you have to process complaints, collaborate with the collections department to clear debts, respond to emails daily (you receive at least 50 a day on a wide variety of work-related topics), and answer calls (at least 20 a day). There are also targets for acquiring new clients. Not to mention that some time has to be invested in visiting clients, and depending on the area, more or less time is lost in travelling. It's too much for one person to able to handle and have a life. You're constantly living under stress. Other people in the company already had burn outs...

Pros

- high quality tools - company car (I don’t have to pay for transportation from home to work) - big and stable company - people are very kind and helpful

Cons

- low base salary (there is a bonus for finishing lift before planned time but it’s hard to do so even after one year of experience) - very low hours planned for assembling one lift - working alone in darkness, coldness and without internet/phone reception - after one month you have to work alone on the construction site with occasional help/visit of trainer. Not much of a physical connection with other teammates which means that exchange of the experiences is very hard.
