Not a good place to work

Pros

There aren't many but the pay was competitive and the benefits were okay.

Cons

Stiff management, strict work environment. Not a very friendly place to work and no real chance for advancement. It's high-stress and there seems to be an almost adversarial relationship between workers and management. The dress code is ridiculous and old-fashioned. Females in the office are discouraged from wearing pants and if they do, it has to be a matching pantsuit with jacket and pants. No suit separates. If a dress or skirt is worn, pantyhose are required. Very strict about this. As I said, very old-fashioned. Even if you wear pants, you are supposed to at least wear knee-highs. No bare skin showing on legs or feet. It's surprising that heels aren't required too. I had to buy a new wardrobe when starting there full of pant suits. I despise wearing hose of any kind so I wore flats and really long pants so my shoes would be covered. I was even fussed at for having acrylic nails which I convinced them to le me keep. A strange out-dated work environment to say the least.

$60,000+ Great Sales Career

Pros

Sales reps have great support system by their admins. Good starting salary, wage increase yearly, plus bonuses during contests. Good training - managers ride with you to help improve your skills, online exams, always receiving new information on products. Weekly meetings, you work from home, schedule your own appointments (with correct size of customer and dollar potential). Everything is measurable (i.e., orders after visit (vs.) sales prior to visiting the customer). From day one you are told you are lucky to get the job.. due to the 1000+ applicants who have applied before you. Bachelor degree is a requirement. Knowing AS400 is a plus and can get you the job - 75% of all reps coming from Enterprise RAC.

Cons

Long Hours. Very Stressful. If you are not a perfectionist you are screwed. You are micromanaged to death (meaning, management performs surveys by calling your customers and asking them questions about you. If you visit a large company that do not know one another, during the call from management, you are screwed and it looks like you were never there. Call Sheets have to be very accurate (dot your I's and cross your T's). If you have experience in sales - forget it.., you are still treated like you still wear diapers and need your ass wiped by mommy or daddy Uline manager. You may hit top sales or be in the Presidents cup, but you will still be told you are not doing your job good enough.
