How much should reps make for all they deal with? Or how little should reps make for those that think reps don't do anything?

I agree with the first response. A rep left this company for another DSD company and makes 20k more starting out than he did after about 15 years with Mondelez. This company is going to triple the amount of stores with mission one than I previously had and still keep me below 45/ year. We basically are territory managers doing the same job as we have always done. The whole thing about getting on sales force and leaving detailed notes in stores but yet I’m still being instructed to send out daily emails of instructions of stores that I might get lucky to be in once this weeks because I’ve been on the schedule to work and write orders elsewhere. Full timers are still calling me to find out what displays are changing and what they’re are changing to. Goes to show they are incompetent to look in the promotions tab and see or read my emails. Literally have to do my job while holding the hands of others to do their job prevents me to do my job to my potential. Yet the finger gets pointed at us for how bad things are out here. Walked into a store last week that just came out of an inventory and down to 5 cases of back stock and now it’s blown up to 3 carts. It doesn’t help when there’s 3 different people serving the store in the last 5 service calls in a store either. Would like to see that survey come through again that had store managers rank DSD companies on different criteria lol
Not enough money in the world to make it worth putting up with their nonsense! Self respect! Try it!
There is no sales rep position. It is a territory manager position
A true sales rep job should pay $70,000 to start plus bonuses that get you to $100,000. Granted: they ki-led the sales rep job. They don’t want sales reps; they want merchandisers that are motivated to lie and steal display space. In exchange for the same wages as Walmart. But they actually think they will get the same Quality.
There’s a reason employers want people with college degrees no matter the job; and pay for that standard. It proves you’re not totally worthless and work hard and plan things out.
Mondelez has chosen to operate like your local discount store. Customers can buy what they give them to buy. They’ve totally aligned themselves with being as trashy as Walmart. No need to pretend they are any better anymore.
