Pros

Car, phone, training, varying work days.

Cons

This used to be a good company to work for. During interviews and when you are first hired you will be told how much potential income you can make and that a standard work day in the field is from 8am to 5pm. Don't be fooled, it's the perfect job if you don't need a good reliable income. You will be bombarded with unnecessary paperwork (in the name of accountability and to make sure the managers butt is covered) and lots of added hours at night looking after order entries. If you are one of the few reps in the company that is in the "boys club" then management will look after you well. Keep in mind that this only amounts to about maybe 5% of the reps within the company. As for the rest of the reps you will be told to continuously sign up and reactivate customers and try to justify the outlandish pricing for products that used to be unique only to Wurth. Just make sure you don't complain to much about it as you will be black listed by management and they will find a quick and easy way to eliminate you from their workforce. You will find lots of double standards and favoritism from upper management as well. " Do as I say and not as I do" should be the company motto. If you do happen to make some kind of decent sales then you can look forward to either a territory split or a 15%+ guaranteed target increase at the beginning of every year. They will lead you into a false sense of security by telling you a "guarantee" will be given to you for a limited time and this will allow you to build your territory. The territories are so small now that you will not be able to maintain managements absurd demands. This is how they will control you and what little money you will make. This company is on a downhill slide and picking up speed. Don't believe the hype!

Pros

You are able to meet and work with many different manufacturers in the industry. Coworkers were very friendly at our branch location. Traveling is a plus without being overbearing.

Cons

Pay was a bit low. Higher-up structure can be tricky to navigate.
