Pros

A paycheck, and the fact that you don't need a pulse to do the job.

Cons

One of the worst jobs I've ever had. Management is uneducated and incompetent, people are dirt balls and underachievers who are comfortable making 9 dollars an hour. 80% of the company is old as dirt. Dead end, low paying, horrible benefit job. No one cares about the phone book anymore. People treat and talk to you like you're a piece of trash. You get 3 PTO days for your first year of employment, and you have to use all 3 because the company shuts down on certain days throughout the year without pay. Your sales get denied or "queried" the day after pay cut off, so it makes it very hard to budget your finances. Save yourself some time and apply at McDonald's, you'll get more respect and most likely make more money and have promotional opportunities. Im absolutely being 100% honest. This isn't a distraught employee, this is a realist expressing the truth.

Pros

The biggest pro is going into a small business in your local area and seeing your marketing plan work! Websites, Digital marketing and local print Campaigns! I have a couple clients that I have built friendships with that will last for life! -Salary (always get a paycheck) -Commission (Rewarded for Working Hard) -Boss (My boss Steve Carey has improved my ability and took me to the next level) -Co-workers (Great group always help me out)

Cons

I would say the biggest con would be the travel! I have some days I drive 2 hours to get to my first client! That's part of the job but the only con I can think of!

Pros

Flexibility and being able to schedule your own appointments. This office manager is not a micro manager and you work out of the office most of the time visiting customers at their place of employment or a local coffee shop.

Cons

The company is behind the curve in the products they offer. Chasing the market definitely hurts the sales potential. Many times the customers have already purchased from another vendor, for the digital products. Some prices are not in line with market rates. This company's procedures are so ridiculous they stifle the sales staff, costing them time and money. They are still using UPS to return files for corrections that could be handled by email or even just by a person with common sense, without returning the file at all. Sometimes they mail a file back because you didn't write the name of the company on page 2.
