Job Requirements
Hiring requirements were several years of experience in working
with sales managers and at least an Associates Degree.
|
Uppers
The absolute best part of my job is talking with our customers on the phone and
actually getting to meet some of them. Without our customers I wouldn't have a
job, and they are great people. I also love the marketing aspects of my job.
|
Downers
The worst parts about my job are that it gets rather tedious
sometimes. I am dealing with numbers all day, every day, and
that just gets boring.
|
Lifestyle
I only travel 2 or 3 times a year. My work hours are 8-5. The dress code is
business casual, and I dress up a little more when going out to see customers.
There are not many company social events. The company is working on diversity,
but they still have a long way to go. The company is dominated by white males
with a "good old boy" attitude.
|
Compensation
I receive quarterly and annual bonuses which total about $8K per
year. There are years when they take away quarterly bonuses and
only give out annual bonuses. My base salary started off 5 years
ago at $30K and has only increase to $34K. Raises only take
place every 18 months and are low. The company offers health
insurance and match 50% in the 401K plan. There are 3 weeks of
vacation after 3 years of service and usually about 6 holidays
per year. Employees are fully vested in the 401K plan after 5
years.

Advice to Jobseekers
The overall field is very lucrative, but I would go with a
company with better compensation and more opportunity for career
advancement.
