Pros

Great learning possibilities, nice international culture and great relocation / travelling possibilities. Salary can be good but you have to fight for what you deserve.

Cons

Many promotions and internal positions seem to be based more on whom you know and who knows you rather than on actual merit and efforts. Internal politics and personal agendas of ambitious, power hungry executives unfortunately seemed to be common currency at the time I was there... Many lay offs and clearly obvious job insecurity and uncertainty. Keeping and promoting talent is not a priority after seeing how some senior competent employees were laid off just to be replaced with cheaper less qualified alternatives.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
