TSM positions in these territories are located in the state of Michigan.

Additional Information

Now, before you proceed, take a few minutes to look at the following list of considerations about the TSM job. Some of the items on the list may affect how well you will enjoy the job and whether you will be successful doing it. Consider each characteristic below and decide for yourself how it will likely affect you. You do not have to record your responses -- this information is provided simply to help you decide for yourself whether you really want to be a TSM in the Field Sales Force for Philip Morris USA.

Do you want to work
for a company that is striving to enhance and extend its leadership status in its business sector? But, keep in mind that this goal will often require you and your peers to do your jobs at a fast pace and work long hours for a company that will challenge you to be personally accountable for achieving significant, measurable work objectives? That challenge, however, will sometimes require you to work in some difficult conditions like driving alone in a van in bad weather or heavy traffic for a company that strongly promotes doing high quality work and effective use of resources? Our TSMs must perform some administrative and reporting duties related to their sales activities while exercising close attention to detail and tight cost control. In other words, we expect our TSMs to demonstrate executional excellence in their work.

You should also be aware that TSMs are expected to be involved, participative members of upbeat, energetic, and socially connected work groups called Unit Teams. Even though each TSM is part of a team, PM USA provides each individual personal recognition for his/her accomplishments and regularly gives deserving employees opportunities to advance to higher level positions. Remember, TSMs are personally accountable for their results in their territories. And, because our TSMs operate a vehicle throughout their territories, they cannot have any DUI convictions within the last three years.

Think about what you have read, and what you know about yourself, and decide whether this is the right kind of job for you.
