Pros

If you work hard to build your territory and build good relationships with your customers it's really a cake job. Flexible and good pay. Competition is tough sometimes but the management does a good job to help you keep the business when there is competitive pressure.

Cons

You do work everyday of the week and there are no set hours. Some days it could be 5am-6pm but it's flexible so it's not like you're sitting in an office all day. Also, on the weekends and evening you could technically be on vacation or on the boat and still working. So it's not that bad!

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
