Pros

Give opportunity to those who are hungry and ambitious. A ton of autonomy to do your role well. Great compensation for sales people. Largest player in industry.

Cons

Make too many promises that they cant keep. Not very innovative or open to change. Lack of competition in industry prevents further innovation. Compensation way below market.

Pros

As a sales rep you are given the opportunity to grow your territory over a period of time. vendors would visit the office almost weekly to show off their product, industry trainings is second to none. The knowledge you get about the food industry is vast and almost overwhelming.

Cons

The commission structure was difficult to comprehend for many associates. The overall feeling was that it was designed to keep money in the pockets of the company and pay as many associates for their hard work. enormous pressure to meet sales goals, even during a downturning economy when sales had fallen overall. Once your territory gets to a certain size, or if they arbitrarily decided to, they will break up your territory and pay you out over 2 years for the lost commissions if you even earned any. Compensation for expenses is based on your territory's gross profit from the last financial year and not based on your current needs, plus no company phone is provided, nor do they cover the full cost if you are on the lowest compensation.
