Pros
Company Car, Phone, IPAD, Relationship building with customers. But be prepared to be challenged at every step by them.
Cons
Competing divisions in same Territories, Customers not always divided properly between divisions. No support from Head Office, When you go to the Wurth week long training you are Told NOT to call the office for support but to rely on Manager for everything. You are selling way over market price. To be competitive you have to lower cost and make 1.5 percent commission. Company does not lower there percentage. Different prices between divisions so you are delivering the same Product but not at best possible price. Management focus is on getting new customers regardless if they will buy on a regular basis. You will be spending the day from 8 to 5 visiting customers and prospecting. At night you will be researching products and doing paperwork till very late with no support from head office. Be ready to kiss up to manager to be in the All Star team to have favors and special pricing given to you. Do not think you will be making money on sales but rather you will be able to get extra money from total sales in their complicated pay structure. If you lose customers (which Happens loss to competition, bankruptcies you are still responsible for sales targets. Hard to reach sales targets and company very cheap. Recently they have taken away ways of earning income by reducing rep ordering options. Wurth Group in Europe is a success but Canadian and American model of doing business is not ready to handle big accounts. You realize that there is a huge turnaround when customer ask you how long you will be around for. Company never accepts fault for anything and blames everything on reps. so they do not learn from their own mistakes. Hard to keep yourself motivated when you are lied too and receive no support from company.
