You are left to fend for yourself with your numbers and if you do not make your numbers, you are subjected to a barrage of calls from all managers, to explain over and over why you didn't make your numbers. Your comp plan changes quarterly. Drivers and Sales staff are in competition for the same sales at the same accounts. Your sales can be snaked by veteran sales associates if you are not savvy. Most sales associates do not last longer than 9 months."
