Pros
Competitive pay and benefits. Ability to collaborate and move within company. Can "climb ladder" with time and proven success and internal interviews. Flexibility to work on your schedule in market as long as you get the job done and appropriately utilize salesforce to document progress and have a plan to succeed. Great culture and open to discuss at roundtables often to express how to be better as a company and better communicate internally. As an AE you will have a better idea of your daily schedule and more professional meetings with chefs and even more C-Suite office meetings. Be organized, professional, responsive, and work hard through the week, and you will have your weekends off. As a Territory Manager (TM) with US Foods... you will work longer hours typically and on Sundays. With the technology of giving the customer online order access... most sales reps (AE or TM) are getting the tedious time back of "taking orders" and now are more responsible to be a true salesperson.
Cons
As an account executive (AE) you are pretty locked in to your agreed annual salary, but as a team you have opportunity to hit your goals to get annual bonus. You may get a small raise each year.
