Pros

Interesting products that buyers may want to look at

Cons

low pay, dishonest management, lack of communication between managers and CEO. He seemed not to be aware of decisions made at a regional level. Direct Manager always seemed shy and not able to demand command of when she was speaking. She was not the right person for a Sales Manager. Her background was in English not sales and not able to motivate a team. Vendor turn over was frequent, a lot of promises how each year would be better, Never saw it???

Pros

The sales training is excellent. Medical, Dental, and vision are provided. It is not great insurance coverage but it better than nothing.

Cons

The company has no EAP. OneCoast is a cheap company, Do not work for this company if you live in an area with a high cost of living.. The commission structure is the worst in the industry. It favors the house. The company is very top heavy. Their managers are paid very well- everyone else not so much. The company is profitable and yet the compensation package for territory managers is awful. The line package is pathetic. Many of the lines have been represented by other rep groups and they could not make a run of it. There are a few good lines. The others are terrible-not well made, late shipments, etc. I do not recommend that you work for OneCoast.

Pros

For new reps, there is a great support system behind the scenes that help send out e-mails and promos that you don't have to do as an independent rep. There is training on how to best sell multiple divisions to one customer and plan out your travel cycle. The companies send you samples and catalogs.

Cons

You have to drink the kool-aid. There is major micromanaging from a top-heavy upper management group who are just interested in the sales rep hunters, not the farmers. Too many conference calls. Working the shows are exhausting and for some reps, it's a loss of income since you spend the week helping everyone but your own customers.
