Responsible for territory of 10-14 big box accounts- Walmart, Sobeys, superstore, etc.
Pros
Out on the road visiting accounts which you develop good relationships with. Great challenge each day and working for a leader in the industry. Not much micro managing went on at my office, so you were free to go about your days, just get the job done and grow your territory. The pay is also pretty good too.
Cons
Very, very hard work and often long days. Not near enough support staff so often left to do things yourself many times into the late nights (8, 9 pm after starting at 6:30 am). Physical job as you are responsible for merchandising several of your accounts, pallets and cases of pop are extremely heavy so it can be very physically demanding, especially when working orders of 10+ pallets. Managers of stores are always on your case for issues well beyond your control (late delivery, merchandiser not showing up) so you're constantly trying to get on their good side in an impossible battle.
