Pros

#1 Food service company. Sell quality food products. Well known reputation throughout the U.S. Very close sales force. Family oriented. Good marketing support. Your refrigerator will stay packed full of free food through relationships with brokers & restaurants. Good way to build relationships in the community & restaurants.

Cons

Horrible pay. 100% commission. No mileage/gas reimbursement. Long, long, hours. Phone never stops ringing even on the weekends. Basically you have restaurant hours, plus the times they are not open. "Will calls" for customers who forget to order items. Prices tend to be a little higher on commodity items (chicken, beef, etc.)

Pros

If you are fresh out of college or changing careers then its a good company to be with. The pay used to be great, but the Chicago Midget re-structured how the sales team was paid. Then it didn't even pay to leave my house.

Cons

No time off, you are tied to your phone and laptop on the weekends and vacations. If your customer can't contact you and MGT finds out your treated like a child and scolded. Pay has decreased, moral has never been lower. People are in fear of there jobs, MGT controls you through intimidation.
