Inconvénients
1) The company loves to hire the young gun, see some of the self entitled comments below. This company is built on the backbone of hardwork and performance if you don't meet expections don't expect a rewarding payout. Not saying that's always the case there has been a great many young guns that have proven themselves and continue to do great things with the company, but they realize that you get what you give. 2) Benefits are poor compared to other companies I've worked for, doesn't even cover optical! 3) No expense account, give the rep's at least a small one to keep it in control. 4) PT model doesn't work, continue with everyone starting PT but dictate hours by performance.
