Pros

You have autonomy to manage your own business. The culture of Red Bull is awesome. Brand recognition it’s amazing how easy it was sell. You sell the culture more than the can. Easy access to the right decision makers.

Cons

Work life balance is terrible. If the right manager is put in place it makes it easier to work the longer hours. Show up at 5:00am not getting home until after 6:00pm every night. Business planning from incompetent GSM makes obtaining quarterly goals impossible. Need more ASMs headcount asms getting burned out on long hours need to cut back stop count.

Pros

The company itself takes care of their employees better than any employer I have had to date. Full health, dental, and various other programs to make sure you're healthy and not worrying about where the money comes from to pay the doctors. Also 401k plan is included. Pay can be considered fair depending on your living situation and station in life.

Cons

The cons come to the surface when you realize the job that is referred to as a sales position, is consistently hindered by a balancing act of selling and trucking in one position. Trucking tends to be a process role of rules, regulations, and standards that certain personalities will naturally thrive in due to the lack of change. This alters one's thinking about managing relationships with people in the field. What begins to happen is a rep achieves sales numbers as the company applies pressure about in store appearance on shelves and coolers. During which merchandising becomes the main focus, not one's ability to communicate and achieve positive ends. Which in summa caps one's thinking to a ceiling in terms of achieving the art of possible-expansion and influencing people; not things. Just to throw in however the company itself is bar none, despite this particular role's challenges.
