Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. Those that make it to 7-8+ years seem happy, knowledgeable and make decent money.

Cons

Very "Lord of the Flies" the first few years. Your life literally revolves around work 24/7 and you are subject to the whims of often incompetent restaurant owners who take out their lack of business skills on you. Almost ZERO customer loyalty in most cases. Many talented sales reps leave because of frustration with the sales/customer dynamic in this field.
