Pluspunten
It's a great introduction to a career in sales and marketing. The fundamentals are catered to people with or without formal education in marketing, sales, finance, business, etc.. Growth is definitely tangible and the support is there to advance. I like that hard work is rewarded and there is no limit really on where you can go or achieve in this business. For my generation, especially, there is no other opportunity out there like this. The world market has changed, but careers in sales and marketing still thrive because we're needed.
Minpunten
Hard work is not for everyone, and this definitely separates the men from the boys. Sales and marketing bear an unfair stigma. I think that it definitely makes it a more lucrative field because if it were easy, then everyone would do it and there would be no opportunity. That being said, for better or worse, people learn a lot about themselves. I think that the manager is great and does a lot of the heavy-lifting, but he really shouldn't have to.
